Product Introduction
At present, the conventional QJ44-type DC bridge is widely used for contact resistance measurement in electric power systems. However, the test current of such bridges is only at the milliampere level, making it difficult to detect defects such as reduced cross-sectional area of circuit conductors. When measuring the contact resistance of high-voltage switch circuits, the presence of oil films and oxide layers often results in significantly higher measured values that fail to reflect the true contact resistance.
To address this issue, both the standard SD301-88 AC 500kV Power Equipment Handover and Preventive Test Regulations and the new version of the Preventive Test Regulations for Power Equipment stipulate that the measurement current for circuit breaker and isolating switch contact resistance shall be no less than 100 A DC to ensure the accuracy of test results.
The Switch Micro-Ohmmeter produced by Wuhan UHV is designed in accordance with the implementation standard DL/T 845.4-2004 of the new Electric Power regulations of the People's Republic of China, combining high-frequency switching power supply technology with digital circuit technology. This micro-ohmmeter is suitable for resistance measurement in switch control equipment circuits. contact resistance tester supplier offers high measurement accuracy and stable performance, fully meeting the requirements of high-voltage switch maintenance and factory circuit resistance testing for high-voltage switches.

matters needing attention
1. Please read the instruction manual carefully before using the loop resistance tester.
2. Please follow the correct wiring method in the instruction manual to connect the wires.
3. This mirco-ohm meter is not allowed to test the circuit resistance in live circuits.
4. The contact resistance tester manufactures must be reliably grounded during use.
5. Current line users are not allowed to replace them at will.
6. When not in use, the contact resistance tester manufactures should be stored in a ventilated, dry, cool, and clean place, paying attention to moisture and corrosive gases.
FAQs
1. Why is a 100A test current required for contact resistance measurement?
National standards (such as SD301-88 and newer preventive test regulations) mandate a test current of at least 100A DC for circuit breaker and isolating switch contact resistance. Low-current (mA level) tests cannot break through the oxide films and oil layers on contacts, leading to falsely high resistance readings. The high current provides a true measurement of the metallic contact resistance.
2. How does the instrument handle interference on-site?
The contact resistance tester is designed with strong anti-interference capability, ensuring that even under severe interference conditions, the last digit of the LCD reading remains stable at ±1 word. This makes it reliable for use in electrically noisy substation environments.
3. What are the advantages of continuous current output?
Continuous current output, rather than a pulsed current, ensures that the oxide film on the contact surface is effectively broken down, leading to a stable and accurate resistance reading. This overcomes the defect of impulse instantaneous current found in some older designs.
4. Why is a high test current important for contact resistance measurement?
Low-current measurement may be affected by oxide films and surface contamination on electrical contacts. The 100A DC test current helps overcome these effects and provides a more representative measurement of the actual contact resistance.
5. What is the difference between a contact resistance tester and a conventional resistance meter?
Contact resistance tester is specifically designed to measure very low resistance values at the micro-ohm level. Its high test current makes it particularly suitable for evaluating high-current electrical contacts where conventional low-current resistance measurement may not provide representative results.
