S1 series stops the noise, brings in the data

The latest version of Megger’s S1 series of insulation testers offers the standard requirements for a solid piece of insulation testing equipment: insulation resistance (IR), polarization index (PI), dielectric absorption ratio (DAR), step voltage (SV) and dielectric discharge (DD) testing. Additionally, the S1 series increases safety, allows for precise testing and accounts for the highest noise an operator may encounter in the field, setting it a step above the standard.

Testing and Safety
The S1 series offers testing safety, even in demanding applications, in both the 5 kilovolt (kV) and 10 kV models; every product in this series now meets the requirements for use in CAT IV 600 V applications (in line with IEC 61010-1).

With 8 kV transient immunity, the S1 series is both suitable for measurements at low-voltage installations and offers high-voltage immunity (up to 8 kV). That’s double the rating of previous insulation tester options.

Megger also supplies the S1 series with a fully specified guard terminal, a unique feature in this industry. Acting as a shunt circuit for parallel leakage points, the guard terminal (labeled with a “G” on the unit) allows the operator to sectionalize testing. As a result, users can achieve fast, accurate results even with equipment possessing high levels of surface leakage, providing more reliable information to assist in fault diagnostics.

Noise
Along with meeting requirements and possessing a guard terminal for enhanced testing, the S1 series also offers industry-leading 4 milliampere (mA) noise rejection. Supported by sophisticated hardware and software, the series delivers accurate and reliable results even in noisy electrical environments (substation switchyards, for example) where other insulation testers are rendered useless.

Default settings suit the vast majority of applications, but the experienced operator may use the optional software filtering of the S1 series to fine-tune testing optimization, especially with demanding applications.

Additionally, the S1 series delivers a higher charging current than the standard insulation tester in the industry, which saves time and minimizes the risk of measuring before the set test voltage is reached, and it offers a variable test voltage up to 10 kV (depending on unit) to allow for the early detection of insulation deterioration.

The software of the S1 series has been upgraded to PowerDB LITE, which comes standard in the latest S1 series package. PowerDB LITE allows test results from the S1 series to be kept, trended and reported.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
