Hazardous area testing of bonding conductors

New from Newson Gale is a multifunction portable meter designed to enable engineers and technicians to test bonding and continuity in hazardous areas, in addition to other electrical data collection. The meter is said to be particularly useful for carrying out periodic tests of grounding (earthing) and bonding connectors and conductors, either on permanently bonded equipment or temporary devices such as grounding clamps, cables and reels.

The unit is also suitable for testing conductive or semiconductive hose assemblies used for transfer of flammable or combustible products where it is essential to achieve continuity over the complete hose length, including end-fittings.

In addition to bonding/continuity (resistance), the easy to use unit offers several other metering options, including Voltage, current, capacitance and temperature.
