Megger BT51 2A Bond Tester
Includes: Supply lead for battery charger, BT51 Operating instruction book, DH1-C Two wire, four terminal duplex twist probe lead set - 3m.
The Megger BT51 Low Resistance Ohmmeter makes measurements by passing a current through the conductor under test and also monitoring the voltage across it. The test current is limited by a simple current limiting circuit and is measured by monitoring the voltage across a resistor. The test current is maintained at a nominal 2 A, and as the measurement is ratiometric, the reading is unaffected by any current variations.
Operation of the Megger BT51 is simple, there being only one range switch to set. Power is supplied by internal rechargeable cells and the charger unit is incorporated into the case. The instrument is built into a robust, portable case that is weatherproof and shockproof and has a hinged, detachable lid.
The Megger BT51 ductor uses the four-terminal method of measurement. The main advantage of this method is that the resistance of the test leads is not included in the measurement. This is an important factor when the value of the measured resistance is very low. In the diagram, resistance RX is measured only between points A and B; other resistances in the current loop either side of A and B are ignored.
EXAMPLE USES:
Commissioning and maintenance of substation equipment).
Maintenance of overhead transmission lines, where “hot” joints can be tested before and after their remaking or recompression.
Bond testing aircraft frames, including the bonding of electronic dischargers and fuel tanks.
Testing earth bonds in mines.
Rail bond testing, where a rail is used as part of a communication system or for power transmission.
Testing the integrity of lightning conductors.
Electronic equipment.
FEATURES:
High test current – 2 a.c. (e.g., for aircraft bond testing).
Four terminal measurement.
