The MADE fuse tester performs a measurement of the fuse resistance. This
measurement is based on the 4 wire measurement method with automatic
compensation of the temperature effect on the result.
The fuse tester consists of a rigid case, including :
- An operating panel
- Two measuring clamps
- A self-test system
- A temperature sensor
The fuse test is performed in 4 steps :
- Power on (with automatic self-test)
- Connection of the 2 measuring clamps to the fuse
- Selection of the fuse type from a selection menu
- Measurement of the fuse resistance and immediate display of the result
The type of fuse to be tested is selected from the on-board data base holding the following parameters :
- Voltage
- Amperage
- Trade Mark
- Identifier
The database is generated using a management PC software which can be updated by the user and transferred to the tester via an USB connection.
