摘要:
A clamp for measuring a ground loop current includes a first jaw secured to a fixed support and a second jaw pivotally mounted on the fixed support, and pivotable between a position closing the clamp and an open position, and an elastic element for returning the movable jaw to the closed position. The clamp includes a device scaling down the force required for opening the clamp, by application of the force to a trigger. The device is mounted between the elastic return element and the trigger, upon opening the clamp.
摘要:
An earth clamp for testing contact voltage, comprising a measuring circuit formed of a voltage inducing transformer and a current measuring transformer, adapted to be mutually coupled by an earth conductor whose earth impedance is to be measured, a microcontroller to deliver an alternating voltage to the voltage inducing transformer and, in response, to receive a reference voltage generated in the earth conductor and an earth current iB+iF induced in the current measuring transformer, the microcontroller being configured to extract an amplitude E of the reference voltage, an amplitude IB and an amplitude IF of the earth current and a phase shift φ between the reference voltage and the loop current iB and to calculate the earth impedance Zb at a determined frequency, the microcontroller also computing the contact voltage Uc at said determined frequency by the product of the earth impedance times the amplitude IF.
