DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS
The MJÖLNER™600 is designed to measure the resistance of circuit MJÖLNER 600 test system is designed to serve a number of applica-
breaker contacts, bus-bar joints, contact elements in bus-bars and tions. The most common are contact resistance measurements of
other high-current links. The product has been designed with safety, low-, medium- and high-voltage breakers and also at bus-bar joints,
ease of use and versatility in mind. and other high current links.
The micro-ohmmeter conducts true DC ripple free current and can The contact resistance measurements concerning breaker testing are
be used anywhere to measure a low resistance value with high particularly called for in the following standards:

At 10 kA a contact with the resistance 0.1 mΩ gives a power loss
of 10 kW. This power loss in one single point will definitely confer
a temperature rise, which may result in overheating and possibly
premature failure.
