DB-1
- Description
Training in electrical installations
The Sonel DB-1 board enables simulation of electrical measurements and faults and abnormalities in circuits. It enables the presentation of measurements of short circuit loop impedance, RCD parameters, insulation resistance, continuity of protective and equalising connections. A unique feature is the ability to present earthing measurements using the technical methods (3p, 4p), the technical method with clamps, the two-clamp method, as well as using the instrument for measuring short-circuit loops.
For each measurement it is possible to simulate different operating conditions and show typical errors and irregularities occurring in real consumer installations. The design of Sonel DB-1 enables its use in any place provided it is supplied with 230V. All measurements carried out with DB-1 do not interfere in any way with the installation to which the demonstration board will be connected.
Features
The DB-1 board makes it possible to demonstrate the method of performing the following tests:
- fault loop impedance for assessment of the automatic power cutoff condition,
- RCD parameters,
- earthing resistance,
- soil resistivity,
- continuity test of equipotential bonding,
- insulation resistance,
- power network voltage.
It is possible to simulate typical failures and irregularities in the electrical network.
