Megger 235303 Tool & Appliance Tester
Bioddle 235303 Tests Ground Continuity, Leakage Current and Electrical Insulation
The MEGGER Tool and Appliance Tester 235303 combines in one portable unit, the three most frequently specified electrical safety tests for tools and appliances. In conformance to the latest UL and ANSI test requirements, the instrument performs tests of ground continuity, leakage current and electrical insulation. It also checks the nameplate current rating of the device.
Applications for the 235303 Tool & Appliance Tester
Applications for MEGGER-Megger's 235303 instrument include inplant OSHA safety surveys and production line, tool room and repair shop safety checks. Regular use of the 235303 maintains compliance with OSHA safety regulations, reduces downtime and protects against injury and liability while safeguarding tools ;and appliances against shock hazard.
The 235303 Tests Ground Continuity Test
The MEGGER-Megger 235303 applies a 25-ampere test current to the ground circui between the tool/appliance and the ground plug to verify it integrity. If the ground circuit resistance exceeds the 0.10 W failure threshold, a safety interlock prevents further testing. A bypass switch is provided to allow testing of two-wire and double-insulated devices.
The MEGGER 235303 Tests Insulation Breakdown or HiPot Tests
The 235303 measures current through insulation as high voltage is applied to the test article to detect weak spots in the insulation that may cause failure in the future. Test voltages up to 3,000ACV may be applied, with the leakage current trip level adjustable from 0.3 to 12 mA by a front-panel control knob. Visual and audible alarms alert the operator to insulation failure.
Name-Plate Verification Check
The 235303 Tool and Appliance Tester also provides an operational check to verify the nameplate current rating, up to 15 amps, of the tool/appliance to assist in determining maintenance requirments.
