MRU-120 meter was created for the most difficult working conditions. It generates a measuring current exceeding 200 mA, which provides effective measurements of grounding of energy objects such as transformer stations and power stations.

Thanks to the methods using clamps, it is not necessary to disconnect the control connectors, which is sometimes a very tedious operation. This plays a special role when performing works on objects exposed to weather conditions, where the connecting elements are sometimes corroded or tarnished. The graphical user interface provides clear readings and explicit messages. This translates into quick, trouble-free service.

Housing of MRU-120 ensures safe operation in field conditions and inside buildings. Ingress protection rating of IP54 protects the device against water and solids in case of splashes or dusty conditions. Moreover, the design of the device provides very good protection during transport and handling. Extensive standard equipment allows user to perform most measurements without the need to purchase additional accessories. MRU-120 is a versatile solution that offers comprehensive testing of earthing systems.

The measuring methods available in the device allow for comprehensive control of working and protective grounding. The calibration function of the test leads eliminates the influence of their resistance on the result. However, this is just the beginning.

• The four-lead method provides very accurate measurement of the expected small values of resistance – eliminates the resistance of the test leads connecting the meter to grounding.
• Measurement of the continuity of protective connections and equipotential bondings with a current exceeding 200 mA meets the requirements of EN 61557-4 standard.
• Before performing the measurement, the meter checks whether the tested object is a subject to excessive interference voltage, which may indicate additional problems.

The results can be saved to the device’s memory. It is divided into 10 banks of 99 cells, each corresponding to one measurement. These results can be easily transferred to the Sonel Reader software for archiving or subsequent analysis and research.

Built-in help function – auxiliary illustrations demonstrate how to properly perform the measurement for each method.

Correctness of connections – if the meter detects an error, which prevents a correct measurement, it will indicate this in the top of the screen using the appropriate test socket symbol.

Complete measurement data – in addition to earth resistance measurement, the device performs additional measurements on interference voltages and resistance of auxiliary probes. Their results are provided with information about the date and time of testing, which facilitates preparing test documentation.
