Earth bond tester speeds through production tests
The Kikusui TOS6200 earth bond tester measures low resistance at high test currents in accordance with the requirements of various international safety standards.
Insulation resistance tester checks compliance
The Kikusui TOS7200 is an insulation resistance tester for compliance/safety testing on Class 1 and Class 2 electrical consumer products and equipment.
Although the case size remains unchanged from conventional models, the PAS series incorporates a new high-efficiency switching circuit and power-factor correction circuit with a power factor of 0.98 that suppresses higher harmonic currents.
The PAS series comprises 27 models offering three different power levels - 350, 700 and 1000W - with maximum rated output voltages increased to 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 160, 320 and 500V to reflect changes in the voltage ranges required for margin testing of DC/DC convertors, batteries, automotive electrical components and motor-operated tools to high voltage or larger capacity formats.
This allows the PAS series to handle tests at 150% of 24V (36V) or at 150% of 48V (72V) with capacity to spare.
The PAS series are controlled using a multifunction dial allowing full control of the voltage and current, and feature a high-brightness four-digit display that provides indications down to 10mV/1mA.
An output power (W) display function is also provided.
The end result is improved operability and visibility.
Features include universal AC input, master slave control, remote sensing and the following analogue control functions: constant-voltage/constant-current output control function; output on/off control function; voltage and current monitoring; and power switch control function (external contact-based or voltage-based power switch off control).
The PAS series also uses the Kikusui developed digital communication function, TP-Bus (twisted pair bus).
The optional PIA 4830 power supply controller will enable control up to 32 PAS power supplies using a twisted pair over distance up to 200m using RS232 or a single GPIB address.
