Hioki 3157 AC Grounding HiTester
The Hioki 3157 AC Grounding HiTester is an AC ground bond tester designed for protection circuit testing of a wide range of electrical equipment. Some of its key features include compliance with international safety standards and laws, constant-current testing with feedback control, a soft-start function, and a fluorescent tube display 1.
It has a current setting range of 3.0 A to 31.0 A AC (0.1 A resolution), into 0.1Ω load, and a maximum output power of 130 VA (at output terminals) 2. Its resistance measurement range is 0 to 1.800 Ω (0.001 Ω resolution), with an accuracy of ±2% rdg. ±4 dgt. after zero-adjust
