Megger 242009-18 Helical Handspikes with Spring Points and Current Push-Current Switch for Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeters, 18' Length

The Megger 242009-18 duplex test lead with helical spring points and current switch is for use with Megger DLRO10HD, DLRO10, DLRO10X, 247000, 247001, and 247002 digital low-resistance ohmmeters. This 18' (5.5 m) long duplex test lead measure both current and resistance when taking four-wire resistance measurements. The lead has a maximum test current input of 10 amp. The helical spring-point hand spikes compress and rotate to make contact with a conductor. There is 0.4" (10 mm) between the current and potential probe tips on the duplex hand spikes. A push button on the lead allows current to flow through the spikes.

A test probe, test lead, test prod, or scope probe transmits an electrical signal to a testing device for display and analysis. Designs range from simple test leads with probe-style or clamp-on tips to more complex oscilloscope probes and current detectors. Some test probes, such as basic test leads, have wires with tips for connecting to test equipment. Other test probes, such as voltage detectors, are built into the meter. Depending on what is to be tested, the probe might either be passive or have active parts that require external power to operate. Some probes require contact for testing, while some are capable of taking measurements from a distance. Some also have finger barriers, insulation, or other features to help protect the operator's hand from electrical shock and burns. Test probes are rated according to the amount of voltage, current, temperature, or other input they can measure. When choosing a test probe, the maximum amount of input that the probe can measure should match or exceed both the maximum amount that can be tested by the test equipment, as well as that of the property expected to be present in the application.
