n Kelvin-type, four-wire measurement eliminates errors
caused by lead and contact resistances.
n Digital readout with automatic zero circuit eliminates

Cat. No. 247100 and 247101 enhance data collection.
These instruments are used when a continuous test
current of 100 amperes is required. These models include
a separate 100 ampere current supply module with a
modified standard battery-powered 10 ampere system.
These combinations provide a sixth range, 0 to 599.9 µΩ,
with the 100 ampere current.
For 100 ampere measurements, an interconnecting cable
from the 100 ampere current supply module is plugged
into a special receptacle on the measuring module.
When the 100 ampere range is not used, a jumper plug is Low-Range/High-Current Model Cat. No. 247101 consists of a

Test Leads
Megger DLROs require test leads, two potential and two current, to make low-resistance measure-
ments. In addition to individual current and potential lead sets, duplex leads that combine current and
potential connections in one set are offered. A variety of C-clamps, Kelvin clips, fixed-point and heli-
cal spring-point leads are available in various lengths.
