Hellermann Tyton South Africa introduces its upgraded compliance kits C able management manufacturer and supplier Hellermann Tyton South Africa has upgraded its TCTDT and

users to clamp large cables. It features AmpTum and BeepLit protocols, can be used to conduct continuity and diode tests, and provides non-contact EF detection. The last piece of equipment in the compliance kit is the T860 Phase Rotation and Motor Rotation Indicator that has heavy-duty alligator clips for easy and reliable clamping. It is used to determine rotation of unconnected motors and can also identify open phase.

TRMS and AC+DC TRMS with external transducer. The unit displays functions such as Maximum, Minimum, Peak and Hold. The TCTCDK meanwhile features the T1825 Loop Network Tester Analyser that is microprocessor controlled and can be used to test up to 100A (6kA) circuit breakers. Each phase is tested separately on a three-phase system, and the unit features safety voltmeter protection. There is also the TBM031 600A AC Digital Clamp Meter that has 30mm jaw size, allowing

But there are also differences. The TCTDT has the Jupiter Multifunction Multimeter Loop Tester that features auto range function while also testing voltages up to 690V for DC, AC TRMS and AC+DC TRMS. It also measures Low impedance input (LoZ) as well as currents of DC, AC

TCTCDK compliance kits. The kits now come with an aluminium enclosure that protects the equipment better than previous versions, while also being easier to store and transport to job sites as well as while the equipment is being used on-site. “We are excited about these updates to our ever-popular compliance kits,” says Voloshnee Pandaram, Marketing Manager for Hellermann Tyton South Africa. “Our company is always looking for new ways, not only to improve our products but also to make them better for our customers to use. We pride ourselves on manufacturing and sourcing products of the highest standard, but that does not mean we stop looking for ways to make them better than they already are. These updates to our compliance kits add a new dimension that will be welcomed by the people using them in the field.” What is in the boxes? The two kits share some components: • The T1151 1,000V Digital Insulator Tester can do insulation testing using test voltages of 250V, 500V and 1,000V. It features an auto discharge safety function, as well as added safety voltmeter protection that takes place before each test. It provides readings according to the Polarisation index, as well as the Dielectric Absorption Ratio. • The Digital Earth Resistance Tester that measures 20,200 and 2,000 ohms of resistance. The compact design incorporates features like safety voltage protection that are more commonly found on bigger equipment. The digital display is clear and crisp, allowing users to accurately read the measurements being recorded. • The TEL2TLB ELCB/Polarity Socket Tester is ready-board compatible and provides LED wiring integrity indication. It has a built-in faulty earth detector, is SANS164-2 (Type N) plug socket compatible and comes with a SANS 164-1: 16A three-pint adapter plug.
