Sentry Hipot & Ground Bond Package
Chances are
that if you have to hipot your electrical product, you must also do a ground
bond test. For some just verifying the existence of the ground connection with
a continuity check is enough but for others, some serious amperage is needed
and a ground bond test is called for. The Sentry 50 Ground Bond Tester provides
up to 30A AC - now that's some amps! Use the Sentry 50 in conjunction with the
Sentry 10, 20 or 30 for a complete electrical safety test package. The Sentry
Line of Hipot and Ground Bond Testers is the cornerstone of QuadTech's EST
Line. Find out yourself by visiting the
Sentry
product page. |
