Applications

This instrument is irreplaceable for all kind of electrical works, especially in situations where there is a need to check the circuits under voltage of 400/690 V. The meter is used for tests in homes, apartment blocks, public buildings, small workshops or factories and even at wind farms.

The meter is a perfect tool for testing systems, where fault currents may reach 5.3 kA (measured according to EN 61557).

Product Details

The Sonel MZC-306 enables measurements in various types of networks including an approved version (Sonel MZC-306R) which holds full PADS approval with Network Rail for use on their 650V electrification network. The meter is invaluable for engineers who work on a variety of electrical work in low-voltage areas, such as solar, renewables, homes and buildings, public facilities, workshops and factories.

The resolution of the measurement result is 0.01 Ω and the meter can also perform measurements in networks protected by RCD circuit breakers.

The casing of the MZC-306 meter is IP54 rated, which provides a resistance to mechanical damage with the cover of the device also being able to be set at several positions to enable easy and comfortable transport and use of the meter.

The Sonel MZC-306R variant is fully PADS approved by Network Rail.

Network Rail approved for use by rail electrification engineers for testing PSCC on 650V signalling power feeders.
