General
Maximum voltage	15 kV

This product is a high-voltage cable from the brand Chauvin Arnoux, type K44, finished in red and with a length of 15 metres. It is a test lead for high-voltage applications up to 15 kV, equipped with an insulated high-voltage crocodile clip. The clip is permanently connected to the cable, enabling a secure and reliable connection during measurements under high voltage. The cable is specifically designed for use in electrical testing and measurement tasks where high insulation strength and mechanical stability are required.

High-voltage cable are essential in electrical engineering for the safe transmission of electrical energy or for measurement purposes under high voltages. The K44 cable from Chauvin Arnoux is suitable for applications in the field of high-voltage testing, such as insulation testing or testing of transformers and other high-voltage equipment. The red-coloured version serves visual differentiation and facilitates assignment during the testing process.

Functions and equipment in detail

The cable features an insulated high-voltage crocodile clip directly attached to the cable end. The clip is permanently connected, preventing accidental disconnection or loss during measurement. The insulation of the clip protects the user from unintended electrical contact and ensures safety when working with voltages up to 15 kV. The crocodile clip allows for quick and secure attachment to test objects with suitable connection points.

Technology explained simply

The designation 15 kV refers to the maximum voltage for which the cable is designed. The insulation of the cable and the crocodile clip is dimensioned to provide the required electrical strength, preventing breakdowns or leakage currents during operation at 15 kV. The permanent connection of the clip to the cable prevents mechanical stress that could lead to breaks or loss of contact. The red colour serves as a visual identifier, commonly used in electrical engineering for positive poles or specific test channels.

Compatibility and accessories

The K44 cable is designed for use with high-voltage measuring instruments and test equipment from Chauvin Arnoux, as well as compatible devices from other manufacturers requiring 15-kV measurements. It can be used in combination with other high-voltage cables, such as the K45 (black), to realise multiple test channels. Use with suitable test instruments featuring corresponding connection sockets or plugs is required to perform measurements safely and accurately.

Installation and mounting

Mounting is achieved by directly attaching the crocodile clip to the object under test, for example to a terminal block, cable, or test object with an appropriate contact surface. The clip is designed to ensure a secure contact without requiring additional tools or aids. The length of 15 metres allows flexible positioning of the measuring instrument relative to the test object, thereby increasing work safety.

Advantages in operation

The permanently connected crocodile clip reduces the risk of contact loss and increases measurement reliability. The insulation protects the user and the device from dangerous electrical contact. The 15-metre length provides sufficient freedom of movement during work, especially in larger installations or when testing equipment not directly connected to the measuring instrument. The red colour facilitates assignment and prevents confusion when multiple test leads are in use.
