Standard Conductor Gauges
Copper:
0.32, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.63, 0.9 & 1.27mm
Aluminium:
0.5, 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8mm
User Definable Gauge entered as Ω/m or Ω/ft
±0.2% ±1 digit from 0 Ω to 1 MΩ
Accuracy of Fault Reading:
(Km, W, Kft)
±0.2% ±3 digits from 1 MΩ to 5 MΩ
±0.2% ±6 digits from 5 MΩ to 10 MΩ
±0.2% of reading ±1 digit (on Ω)
Accuracy of Loop Reading:
Insulation Accuracy:
±2% of reading ±1 digit
Insulation Range:
0 to 19 MΩ in steps of 0.01 MΩ
19 MΩ to 200 MΩ in steps of 0.1 MΩ
Voltage to line:
100 V DC ±20%. The output is current limited
(100 µA) so as the load drops below 1 MΩ, the
voltage to line will approach 0 V as the load
approaches 0 Ω.
Current to line:
100 µA DC nominal
