MVT – Contact Resistance Meter / Millivolt Drop Tester

Static contact resistance measurements are essential to check the health and
functionality of the main contacts of the circuit breaker. If the contacts are not
in a good condition there can be arcing and single phasing. Due to oxide
depositions and absorption of moisture, the contact resistance often increases.
This leads to I2R losses in the contacts due to hot-spotting when the circuit
breaker is closed.

MVT Contact Resistance Meter uses Kelvin’s 4-wire method to accurately

measure the static resistance of the circuit breaker main contacts. It has a built-
in continuous DC source of up to 200A and performs resistance measurements
in the micro-ohm range by measuring the millivolt drop in the contacts.

MVT is compact and portable, which allows it to be taken on-site for field
testing requirements. It is suitable for measuring the contact resistances of
vacuum circuit breakers, high voltage circuit breakers, extra high voltage
circuit breakers, isolators/disconnectors, bus bars, and many other components
used in power transmission and distribution.

Our new PLC controlled smart MVT has an ability to program tests using a
touch-screen display and store results on a flash drive.
