MPI-520  Multifunction Electrical Installation Meter
MPI-520
Key Features:
  • MPI-520 and MPI-520 Start meters allow for the measurement of the tripping time and tripping current of an RCD with just one RCD trip.

 

  • Measurement of voltage, frequency as well as alternating current (with the use of an additional clamp), cosφ and power (active, reactive, apparent).

  • Quick verification of correctness of the PE conductor connection with the use of a touch electrode.

  • Phase sequence checking.

  • Memory of 990 measurements (57500 individual results), data transfer to a PC over the USB or wireless interface.

  • Battery or rechargeable battery power supply (optional).

  • Real time clock (RTC) - measurement time saved in memory.

Low-voltage measurement of protective connection equipotential and protective bonding:

- measurement of the protective conductor continuity with current 200 mA

  in both directions (in accordance with the EN 61557-4 standard),

- low-current measurement of resistance with acoustic and light signalling,

- automatic calibration of test leads - capability of using test leads of any 

  length.

Measurement of short-circuit loop impedance:

- impedance measurement with 23 A current (40 A for phase-to-

  phase voltage),

- resistor limiting the current: 10 Ω,

- range of measurement voltage: 95...440 V, frequency 45...65 Hz,

- measurement of short-circuit loop impedance with the resolution of

  0.01 Ω in systems protected with RCDs of I ≥30 mA without

  tripping them, Δn

- automatic calculation of short-circuit current; differentiation

  between line and phase-to-phase voltage,

- measurements with the use of a UNI-Schuko plug with a

  measurement triggering button (also with swapped L and N

  conductors) or leads of lengths 1.2, 5, 10, 20 m, with possible use

  of three-phase socket adapters (AGT).

Examination of AC, A and B type residual current devices:

- measurement of general, short-time delay and selective RCDs of

  rated residual current 10, 30, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 mA,

- a function of automatic measurement of the full set of RCD

  parameters (after a single push of the "START" button, the meter

  performs the entire defined cycle of measurements, including the

  L-PE short-circuit loop impedance measurement with 15 mA

  current),

- the shape of leakage current characteristics selected by the user:

  sinusoidal (starting with the rising or falling edge), pulsating

  unidirectional current (positive or negative), pulsating unidirectional

  current with 6mA direct current offset (positive or negative),

  direct current (positive or negative),

- measurement of the I operating current with rising current, A

- measurement of the t tripping time for 1/2I , I , 2I , 5I , A Δn Δn

  Δn Δn

- measurement of the U touch voltage and the R protective 

  conductor resistance B E without tripping the RCD,

- detection of swapped L and N conductors in a socket; no influence

  on the performance of measurements,

- capability of the I tripping current and the t actual tripping time

  measurement A AI with just one RCD tripping,

- voltage measurements in the range of 95...270 V.

Insulation resistance measurement:

- test voltages: 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V,

- insulation resistance measurements up to 3G ,

- capability of in-socket measurement with the use of the UNI-

  Schuko adapter,

- acoustic signalling of 5-second time intervals to facilitate capturing

  time characteristics,

- protection of the meter against the presence of voltage on the

  object and the appearance of voltage during measurement,

- automatic discharge of capacitance of the measured object after

  finishing the measurement,

- automatic measurement of all resistance combinations of 3, 4 and

  5-core cords with the use of the additional AutoISO-1000C

  adapter.

Measurements of earth resistance:

- measurement with the three-lead technical method and 2 auxiliary

  electrodes,

- internal voltage source of frequency appropriate for 50 or 60 Hz

  power system (selectable in the meter).
