Lightning protection component tester

The ETCR 3800A tests metal oxide varistors and gas discharge tubes used in surge protective devices. It measures initial action voltage, leakage current and DC breakdown voltage on a single instrument. A touch colour LCD presents the results and menus.

Electrical maintenance and inspection teams

Technicians who verify lightning arresters, surge protectors and over-voltage components will find the required test ranges in one handheld unit. Installers who only need basic continuity or insulation checks should look at simpler instruments.

Test range up to 3000 volts

Initial action voltage and DC breakdown voltage are measured from 50 to 3000 V. Leakage current is measured from 0 to 1000 µA. These limits decide whether the tester covers the components on site.

Questions about this item

What type of lightning protection components can the ETCR 3800A test?

The ETCR 3800A tests metal oxide varistors (MOV) and gas discharge tubes (GDT) used in lightning arresters, surge protectors and similar over-voltage protection devices.

Can the ETCR 3800A store test results for later review?

Yes, the tester stores up to 1000 groups of measurement data in its internal memory for recall and analysis.

How do I confirm the ETCR 3800A is measuring correctly after power-up?

The unit runs a self-inspection routine at start-up and the touch colour LCD displays the measured initial action voltage, leakage current or DC breakdown voltage within the stated ranges.
