You sure test for alot! We basically get amps volts and call it good from my fluke t6-100 pro. I like the simple life but im glad to see your way of life.
Volts, insulation resistance and continuity are my basic tests, don't really test for amps that much. The installation sparks will have more meter functions than I carry on a regular basis.
I have not tested cables on their own, but have tested cables attached to motors etc. Longer and larger cables have a charge time similar to when testing with a sub 1000V insulation tester. It seems to work fine, but with its limited measurement range it is more for go / no-go testing rather than giving a specific leakage current.
The only sonel tool I have is the floor and wall insulation resistance testing plates sonel prs-1 something I think would be extremely useful for you when testing motors on pads and exposure to nearby potential conductive parts on motors including in fault conditions. In this case Effective protection is ensured by the reduction of floor and wall conductivity such that under operating conditions the worker is not exposed to the risk of contact with potentials other than the potential of defective equipment, i.e. hazardous electrical shock currents. Such a solution is based on the insulation of the test stand from the ground and equalizing the potentials of conductive parts (using non-earthed equipotential bonding) which are not a part of the electrical circuit to supply the test stand ( Usually If external conductive parts can be reached from the test stand within a distance
I would have to read up on the probe to understand it more. The majority of the plants I work on have ground mounts installed and everything bonded down to that to protect against and shocks and earth potential rise. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@three-phase562 that should create a single potential but clearly you have to prove that the protections are actually working as they should which this nice little tool would help with. Read on this little tool I think would be ideal for you..
If the opportunity arises, then I can do that, but as I am contractor based now, I just don't know when it would be, especially with a faulted cable. Thanks for watching and your question.
That's a very nice tool, I love it.
Thanks TETC, I do like some of the Sonel test equipment on offer.

Nice, thank you. Have you used it at cables to check the insulation resistance and compare it with megger or other insulation resistance instrument ?

Hi, can you do real tests with the mic 5? Videos with cables that have faults.. I want to see how it works in the field, greetings
