The M30 is a hipot from Rod L Electronics. HiPot, or high potential, is a class of electronic test equipment used to verify electrical insulation. Engineers use HiPot-testing instruments on cables, wires, circuit boards, appliances, electric motors, and transformers. As a product ages, its insulation may break down and result in current flow leakage. HiPot testers keep engineers safe from current leakages by detecting gaps and defects in the electronic device. Dielectric Testers, Insulation Testers, and Megohmmeters are similar to HiPot testers. Popular manufacturers include Biddle, Megger, Fluke, Associated Research, Quadtech, Instek, and Slaughter.
Additional Features:
Output Current: 30 A @ 2.5 V
Resistance: 0 to 0.15 Ohms, accurate within +/- 5% when monitor is at full-scale
Test Time: 1 to 90 seconds, user-adjustable (5-7 seconds is factory default)
Line Input Power Requirements: 115/230 Volts AC, +/- 10%, 44-66 Hz, up to 360 Watts
Dimensions: 16.75" x 5.25" x 13.25" (43 cm x 13 cm x 34 cm)
Triggers audible and visual alarms If the ground resistance exceeds the preset value
Performs ground bond tests in full compliance with BSI, VDE, and IEC standards
Test time is adjustable from 1 to 90 seconds
Tests resistance (up to 0.15 Ohms) between the chassis of the tested product and the ground pin of its power cord
Can connect to any ROD-L hipot tester to enable combination testing via a common start-click and tester connection
Front panel receptacle is rated to 8000 VAC
Reports test progress, test failures, the chassis ground resistance (0 - 0.15 Ohms), and the applied current
Ground resistance trip point can be preset via a rear-panel potentiometer
Applications
Perform ground bond tests in compliance with BSI, VDE, IEC, and other electrical-safety standards
Reduce exposure to product liability claims
The Rod-L Electronics M30 ground bond testers are designed to assess the electrical integrity of the safety ground paths between the exposed conductive surfaces of products and the earth pins of their AC power cords. By using these ground bond testers to continuously test for acceptable resistances in those paths as they are subjected to currents that are close to the limit of what the overcurrent protection for their AC power mains will allow, these ground bond testers can test for electrical safety and integrity issues caused by marginal single-strand wiring or other problems that ordinary low current ground continuity testers may miss.
In addition, these ground bond testers are designed to perform these ground bond tests in compliance with UL, BSI, IEC, and other applicable electrical safety testing standards. These standards serve to help reduce your exposure to product liability claims and your risk of producing electrically unsafe products.
