Description

The Ohmstik Plus Live-Line Micro Ohmmeter measures the micro-ohm resistance of conductors, connectors, splices and switching devices positioned directly on an energized, high voltage lines. The OhmstikPlus calculates resistance by measuring the AC amperage in the line and the voltage drop due to the resistance of the line segment under test. Using the AC current in the line ensures that realistic current distributions through the connection are being measured.

Features

• Measure micro-ohm resistance on a live high voltage conductor
• Superior measurement compared to infrared thermography
• Measure exact resistance or compare to a nearby conductor
• Measures up to Nine sets of readings
• Simple to use one button operation
• Measures resistance using AC current in the line
• Measures and displays both amps and micro-ohms
