DESCRIPTION

The KC series of test leads provide a complete and
convenient solution to the problem of finding reliable test
leads that are long enough for testing the continuity of
lightning protection conductors in wind turbines.

KC-series wind turbine test leads are available in 100 m,
60 m and 30 m versions that are equally suitable for use on
site or in the manufacturing plant. All lead set versions are
10 A rated.

The lead sets consist of two test leads. The first is a 5 m cable
fitted with a duplex handspike for probing the lightning
receptors on the tips of the turbine blades. The second cable
is either, a 30 m, 60 m or 100 m cable, fitted with a large
robust Kelvin clip, specially designed to offer ease of use
while providing the consistently reliable connections needed
to ensure accurate and repeatable test results.

The long cable is wound onto a high quality, robust cable reel
fitted with a friction brake to avoid tangles whilst paying out.

APPLICATIONS

This lead set is intended to measurement the resistance of
the lightning protection circuit of a wind turbine, either in
part in a production environment, or fully assembled during
commissioning, maintenance, or following repair. This lead
set is designed to be connected to any instruments in the
Megger 10 A DLRO range or the Megger BT51. However,
for outside use the DLRO10HD is recommended due to it
robustness and high IP rating.
