Earth leakage is just one parameter
Published: 13 December, 2018
With the 18th Edition’s increased emphasis on earth leakage and the associated problems, electricians are being encouraged to get a dedicated clamp-meter. However, METREL, a provider of innovative test solutions, says it thinks this is a wasted opportunity, and that’s why its earth leakage clamp meter, MD 9272, includes a range of power quality functions too.
With Appendix 17 of the 18th Edition, introducing energy efficiency and its measurements, such as W (Real Power), VAR (Reactive Power), VA (Apparent Power), Power Factor and Harmonic Distortion, the company says customers don’t have to go out and buy yet another tester as the Metrel earth leakage clamp meter can measure all these parameters for the cost of an ordinary clamp meter.

Until 30th June 2018, FLUKE has announced it is offering a free Fluke true-RMS AC/DC clamp meter when purchasing a Fluke TiS75 thermal imager. Both use the Fluke Connect system, enabling users to wirelessly transmit measurement data from their test tools to their smartphone or tablet for secure storage on the Fluke Connect Cloud and allow team access from the field.
A market-leading power distribution system for enclosures has just extended its range. RITTAL says its popular 185mm Ri4Power busbar provides trusted, safe and compact power distribution within enclosures.
CURTIS INSTRUMENTS says choosing the right charger is critical for maintaining a healthy battery and a fully operational forklift and it is important the battery has enough charge at the start of each shift.
QUANTITECH says its stand at AQE 2015, the air quality and emissions show, will feature 3 different technologies for measuring individual organic compounds. VOCs mostly exist in mixtures so measurements can be misleading unless the individual compounds are speciated.
