Mitton LCI-2058 Low Current Injector Test Set

  
Product Description
The Low Current Injector (LCI) provides a reliable method for testing earth/grounding systems, particularly those with low impedance (<2 ohms) or which are extensive and where noise is present on the earthing system. Portable earth testers are often unsuited to testing such earth/grounding systems due to limited test current and inadequate noise rejection.

The LCI 2058 provides a reliable and simple means to test power system earthing/grounding systems. The LCI 2052 is an off-frequency constant current source used to inject current into the earthing/grounding system under test.

Auto shut-off is a safety feature that ensures the injected current immediately ceases should the injection circuit be interrupted. The LCI output is galvanically isolated from the input supply.

In some cases it is impractical to use the LCI, for example where the injection is carried out using an existing power or transmission line running parallel to another line. In such cases the induced current in the test circuit may be excessive. However, a diesel genset can be used instead.
