This replacement part from Chauvin Arnoux is specifically designed for the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 and is used for performing protective conductor resistance and touch current measurements. It is a test probe intended as a replacement part for the measuring instruments, establishing the necessary connection between the device tester and the electrical device under test. The probe is equipped with a 2 m long connection cable, providing sufficient mobility for measurements in various environments. The application is in the field of electrical installation and safety testing, where accurate and reliable measurement of protective conductor resistance and touch current is essential for compliance with safety standards.

Applications

The test probe is used in professional environments, particularly for the maintenance and testing of electrical devices and installations. It is suitable for all applications where the safety of the electrical installation must be verified, for example in buildings, industrial plants, or during commissioning of devices. Measuring protective conductor resistance checks the effectiveness of the protective conductor, while touch current measurement ensures that the current flowing through the touch point in case of a fault remains below the permissible limit.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The probe is designed to support the measuring functions of the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108. It enables direct connection to the test object and transmits the measurement signals back to the device tester via the 2 m long cable. The cable length provides sufficient clearance to perform measurements even in spatially restricted or hard-to-reach areas. The construction is tailored to the requirements of safety testing to ensure precise and reproducible measurements.

Technology Explained Simply

The test probe serves as a mechanical and electrical interface between the device tester and the device under test. It is responsible for introducing the measurement current into the device and detecting the returning current, allowing the resistance of the protective conductor and the touch current to be calculated. The 2 m length of the connection cable allows for flexible handling without compromising measurement accuracy. The probe is designed for use in electrical installation, where high reliability and repeatability of measurement results are required.

Compatibility and Accessories

This replacement part is exclusively compatible with the device testers C.A 6107 and C.A 6108 from Chauvin Arnoux. It is not intended for other devices or measurement systems. Use with other device testers is not guaranteed and may result in incorrect measurements or damage. The probe is delivered together with an instruction manual for use, explaining the correct handling and integration into the testing process.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done by simply connecting the test probe to the corresponding connector on the device tester C.A 6107 or C.A 6108. The probe is then connected to the test point of the device under test, with the instruction manual detailing the exact steps. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. Installation is quick and does not require any special preparation.

Advantages in Operation

Using the test probe ensures continuous and reliable measurement, increasing the efficiency of testing processes. The 2 m cable length provides flexibility during work, especially in spatially confined environments. Precise measurement of protective conductor resistance and touch current contributes to compliance with safety regulations and reduces the risk of electrical accidents. The probe is designed as a replacement part, so it can be easily replaced in case of wear or damage without having to replace the entire device tester system.

The instruction manual for use is part of the delivery and supports the user in the correct application of the test probe. The probe is designed for professional use in electrical installation and maintenance and meets the requirements for safety and reliability in this field.
