RESISTIVE CURRENT LEAKAGE CLAMP TESTER

Ior (RESISTIVE) LEKAGE CURRENT MEASUREMENT

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, many harmonics and high-frequency current are contained to leakage current of grounding line and or other circuits due to spread of high-frequency electric apparatus with inverter, converter, etc. and the measured values by different instruments are not same even at the same measuring point.
Generally, leakage current contains the resistive component (Ior) which flows to the ground by insulation deterioration and also, the capacitive component (Ioc) which flows by electrostatic capacity caused from above high-frequency and harmonics.
The actual insulation deterioration should be related with only Ior but ordinary leakage clamp testers can measure only Io (vector between Ior & Ioc as under drawings) and cannot judge what kind of leakage current is flowing.

MEASURING METHODS FOR RESISTIVE LEKAGE CURRENT

There are mainly two methods for measuring resistive component of leakage current as followings:
1. Igr Method – Inputting a certain fixed low range frequency to the circuit by injection CT.
2. Ior Method – Measuring synchronous current based on the circuit voltage inputted to clamp tester.

We are adopting Ior method to all our Io/Ior Digital Clamp Testers (except for model MCL-400IR), as Igr method is very difficult to have injection CT in the actual measuring fields.
Our new models MCL-500IRV, 340IRV & MCL-800IRV have non-contact voltage sensors which enable more safely measurement without touching voltage terminals.
Also, model MCL-400IR has very unique method, detecting harmonics (5th & 7th) and measuring resistive component by calculations without voltage input.
