To  maximize  accuracy  and  measurement  repeatability  make  sure  that  all  clamps  have  a  good 
connection to the test object and avoid any connection between Sense and Current clamps. 

 

In  case  that  combined  current  and  sense  cables  are  provided  with  the  RMO-H  device,  the  user  only 
needs to connect the TTA clamps to the connection points. The resistance between these points will be 
measured by the device.  

 

3.2  Connecting RMO-H to Circuit Breaker 

 

Before connecting the RMO-H to a circuit breaker make sure that: 

 

  the  breaker  is  disconnected  or  separated  from  its  circuit  on  both  sides  of  the  breaker  in 

accordance with the national safety regulations; 

always comply with local safety regulations 

when using the RMO-H, 

  the breaker is properly grounded to a protective earth (PE), 

  the RMO-H itself is properly grounded. To do so, connect the grounding screw of the RMO-H to a 

PE using only the manufacturer provided grounding cable. 

 
When  testing  high-voltage  circuit  breakers  with  RMO-H

,  a  different  cable’s  length  could  be  used.  The 

short cable (red cable, 1,3 m) connects the RMO-H 

to the CB’s bushing which is closer to the test person 

and the device, while long cable (black cable, 3 or 5 m) is connected to the distant bushing on the other 
side of the breaking point. 

 

The connection diagram to a one-side grounded circuit breaker is illustrated in the figure below: 

With  RMO-H  turned  off,  connect  RMO-H 
to  the  test  object 

(

R

t

in  such  a  way  that 

the  measuring  cables  from  the  "Voltage 
Sense"  input  sockets  are  attached  as 
close as possible to the test object R

X

, and 

closer  to 

R

t

 

than  the  connection  points  of 

the  current  feeding  cables.  That  way, 
resistance  of  both,  cables  and  clamps  is 
almost  completely  excluded  from  the 
resistance measurement. 

 

Please  pay  attention  to  the  polarity 
while 

connecting 

the 

measuring 

cables,  otherwise  the  measurement 

results will be incorrect.
