The ultimate engineers tool for calibration & testing of
welding machines to EN IEC60974-14 & other international standards.
The easiest & fastest way to calibrate every type & make of
welding machine. Just plug into your machines output terminals & get
testing!
Multiple load resistors are built into a tough
aluminium enclosure, the resistive loads are selected using the front
panel switches. Each of the main load switches can be operated
independently & a 6 step fine switch gives more precise adjustment
of load, the result is 100’s of different load values allowing testing
of all MIG/MAG, TIG & MMA power sources (GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, SMAW) up
to 800 or 1000A.
Calibrator Pro instrument panels use the most
precise high stability electronics available & accuracy levels
exceed the highest requirements of IEC60974-14. This allows calibration
& testing to precision grade where needed. Suitable for the most
demanding industries such as nuclear, aerospace, Government laboratories
etc.
This wide range of load resistance allows testing on all
welding processes in accordance with the volt/amp relationship formula.
For instance on MIG/MAG at 500A you can achieve 39V, on TIG you can
achieve 30V, on SUB ARC 40V etc. Every load setting is marked with the
approx. current rating, but all will withstand high overloads as often
happens during load testing of welding equipment. Load resistances start
at 5Ω and with all loads switch on resistance is 0.043Ω for 800 model
& 0.033Ω for 1000A model.
Calibrator Pro models utilise
‘stack effect’ cooling to pull in cold air at the bottom & force hot
air out of the top this provides exceptional cooling for the load
resistors allowing over 35kw (800 model) (50kw 1000 model) of peak load
power.
Calibrator Pro 800 is fitted with 7 main loads + 6 position fine control – up to 900A peak amperage.
Calibrator Pro 1000 is fitted with 8 main loads + 6 position fine control – up to 1250A peak amperage.
