FAQ's of Metravi KDBR Kelvin Double Bridge:
Q: How is the Metravi KDBR Kelvin Double Bridge powered during operation?
A: The device is entirely self-powered, operating either via an internal battery or hand generator, so no external power supply is required for measurements.
Q: What components can be measured using the Metravi KDBR Kelvin Double Bridge?
A: This bridge is specifically designed to measure very low resistances in components such as shunts, wires, cables, contacts, and small resistors up to 15 mm thickness.
Q: Where is the Metravi KDBR typically used?
A: Thanks to its portable bench-top design and robust case, the Kelvin Double Bridge is used both in laboratories and onsite-particularly where highly accurate low-resistance measurements are essential.
Q: What is the process for conducting a resistance measurement with this bridge?
A: To measure resistance, connect the specimen using the four-terminal Kelvin connections. Manually balance the bridge using the ratio arms and read the result on the analog galvanometer, following instructions provided in the manual. Immediate response is provided once balance is achieved.
Q: What are the benefits of four-terminal Kelvin connections in this device?
A: Four-terminal (Kelvin) connections minimize the impact of lead and contact resistance, delivering highly accurate and repeatable measurements, especially critical for very low resistances.
Q: When should I consider using this bridge over other resistance measurement methods?
A: Choose the KDBR Kelvin Double Bridge when precise, low-resistance measurements are necessary, especially when working without access to external power or in environments with potential for high contact resistance errors.
Q: What advantages does the Metravi KDBR offer in terms of usability and reliability?
A: Key advantages include high accuracy (0.1%), wide measurement range, portability, ease of manual operation, and rugged construction-making it reliable for both laboratory and field applications.
