Chauvin Arnoux P01295263 Spool with 150 m test lead blue content_copy

This product is a measurement cable in the form of a drum with 150 m cable, specifically developed for measuring earth resistance and specific earth resistance. The manufacturer is Chauvin Arnoux, a provider of measurement technology specializing in reliable and precise measurement solutions. The cable is executed in blue color, enabling clear assignment to corresponding connection terminals on earth resistance measuring devices and preventing wiring errors. The drum is equipped with a handle, facilitating transport and handling, especially for longer measurement distances outdoors or in industrial facilities.

Applications
The measurement cable is used in earth resistance measurements, particularly in 3- or 4-wire methods for determining earth resistance. It is also suitable for measuring specific earth resistance, where the electrical conductivity of the ground is determined. These applications are found in electrical installation, facility management, testing of lightning protection systems, and in industry, where safe and reliable earthing is critical. The length of 150 m enables measurements over greater distances, for example, when testing earthing systems in large halls or on construction sites.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable is wound on a drum equipped with a handle to ensure safe handling during installation. The handle can be removed to optimize storage space. The blue color corresponds to the standard color coding for specific connection points on Chauvin Arnoux earth resistance measuring devices, enabling clear assignment and avoiding confusion. The cable itself is designed for use in earth resistance measurement kits, which consist of multiple components such as earth electrodes, additional cable reels, and adapters.

Technology Explained Simply
The measurement cable serves as a connecting element between the earth resistance measuring device and the earthing systems or test points in the ground. The length of 150 m provides sufficient reach to access measurement points at a greater distance from the device. The use of a drum with a handle facilitates unwinding and rewinding the cable, especially for longer stretches. The color coding supports correct assignment to the connection terminals on the measuring device, reducing the risk of errors during wiring.

Compatibility and Accessories
The accessory is designed for use with earth resistance measuring devices from Chauvin Arnoux, particularly for 3- and 4-wire methods. It is part of complete earth resistance measurement kits, which also include other components such as earth electrodes, cable reels in other colors (e.g., green, black), and adapters with 4 mm banana plugs or cable lugs. Compatible accessories also offered include a set of 5 adapters (cable lugs / 4 mm banana plug), a set of 4 handles for drums, a T-shaped earth electrode, and a drum with 150 m measurement cable in red. These components can be combined to create complete measurement kits for various application scenarios.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves unwinding the cable from the drum and connecting the ends to the corresponding terminals on the measuring device and to the earthing system or test points in the ground. The handle on the drum facilitates unwinding and positioning during installation. The cable is used in conjunction with other components of an earth resistance measurement kit, where correct color coding and wiring are essential for measurement accuracy.

Operational Advantages
The use of a pre-assembled drum with 150 m blue measurement cable reduces preparation time for earth resistance measurements. The uniform color coding and clear assignment to connection terminals minimize errors. The integrated handling via the handle facilitates transport and installation, especially for longer measurement distances. The cable is part of a modular system that can be supplemented with additional components as required, enabling flexible and application-specific measurement solutions.
