MZC-304
- Description
Measurement of fault loop and more
Get to know the Sonel MZC-304 compact short circuit loop impedance meter with many measurement functions.
The presented model is one of the smallest instruments available on the market intended for short circuit loop impedance measurements in 230/400 V networks and continuity of protective and equipotential connections measurements. The MZC-304 meter performs short circuit loop measurements with a resolution of 0.01 Ω, also in the case of measurements in networks protected with RCD switches. With a backlit keyboard and display, the device can be used even in low light. The device has a sealed casing with IP67 protection, which is characterised by excellent resistance and ensures smooth operation even under adverse environmental conditions.
The device meets the requirements set out in standard EN 61557.
Capabilities

Application
The instrument is dedicated to personnel performing measurements in single and multi-family buildings, office buildings, industrial plants and any other places equipped with low voltage electrical systems. In addition, the meter is intended for maintenance personnel working on objects, where fault currents reach 4.4 kA (measured according to EN 61557). MZC-304 is also a great tool for checking circuits additionally protected by residual current devices.
