OM 10 portable micro-ohmmeter performs 4-wire measurements of inductive and non-inductive resistances up to 50 KΩ with continuous or pulse measuring current up to 100 mA. It works at a resolution of 10 µΩ and an accuracy of 0.05%. The accuracy of measurements is also ensured by the automatic compensation of thermal electromagnetic forces, the compensation of ambient temperature (internal sensor) at 20°C and by the selection of the metal type. OM 10 can also measure DC and AC voltages up to 400 V.

Key-features :

  • 4-wire resistance measurement up to 50 KΩ at 10 µΩ resolution and 0.05% accuracy
  • Voltage measurement up to 400 V at 1 V resolution and 1% accuracy
  • Continuous measurement current for inductive loads: Coils, transformers, motor windings, twisted cables…
  • Pulse measurement current for non-selfic resistances: Earth bonding, ground continuity, contact resistances, non-twisted cables…
  • Automatic compensation of thermal E.M.F.
  • Temperature compensation
  • Metal temperature compensation

Applications :

  • Cable resistance and resistivity measurement
  • Inductive resistance measurement (transformers, motors…)
  • Contact resistance measurement (connectors, switches, relays…)
  • Metallisation, earth bounding and ground continuity tests
  • Tests of low power electrical components (fuses…)
  • Tests of heat-sensitive devices
  • Tests of surface states, mechanical bonds and materials
