Battery Ground-Fault Locator
The wide dynamic range of the instrument allows the
operator to simultaneously track two or more ground
faults that may be different in value. The injected signal is
low enough in amplitude that it should not interfere with
the operation of relays, even of the sensitive variety, under
normal operation.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ Reads resistance directly (1 ohm to 100 kilohms)
■ Locates single or multiple ground faults
■ Operates on floating or resistance-grounded battery
systems
■ Operates on live battery systems
■ Operates in the presence of surge-correction capacitors
■ Fused output leads for maximum user safety
■ Battery operated with internal automatic charger
■ Measures capacitance
■ Lightweight and portable
■ Tough polyethylene plastic sealed enclosure that
provides high shock and vibration resistance
