Raytech 

Digital Winding Resistance meter, WR50-12, was designed for high degree of 

accuracy for the measurement of very low resistance of inductive loads. This technology was 
then packed into a portable test system for use by apparatus manufacturers, rebuild shops, and 
electrical maintenance crews. 

 

Ease of use: 

This intelligent system has an easy to use operation screen, which allows quick 

selection of the current level to be measured. Use the Touchscreen to change or activate an 
item. 

 

Impressive Accuracy: 

The WR50-12 is a high precision, fully automatic, multi-microprocessor 

based system. This system is designed for highly accurate readings on-site with laboratory 
precision. 

 

Unique Measuring Technique: 

This newly designed technique of measurement incorporates a 

high precision measurement circuit ,a unique power source and the fastest discharge unit on 
market. Extensive filtering and high precision standards are used within the test system. The 
system is capable of precision measurements to 50 A. 

 

Operation:

 The WR50-12 applies a preset current level, selected by the User. The 50V power 

source quickly charges the load. The results of the test are then displayed within a few seconds 
automatically. The results are reported on the easy to read color LC display and can be stored or 
printed. 

 

Compact Design: 

The WR50-12 is one of the most lightweight systems available that comes 

complete with its own rugged waterproof Fieldcase. 

 

Simple Maintenance: 

There is No maintenance required. This is due to the utilization of high 

precision components in the design.  

 

Advanced Protection: 

Upon powering on, the system initializes itself with a self-calibrating, 

circuit checking sequence. If any problems are detected during this initialization period, or 
during operation, the operator is immediately notified. The system constantly monitors the 
condition when turned on. The WR50-12 has extensive protection built in to the circuitry. This 
is one of the many reasons we can extend our warranty to 5 years. 

 
Advantages & Features: 

 

Highest accuracy and Precision of any high current test system
