Millivolt Drop Tester (MVDT) CE Certified

SCR Elektroniks has developed a Millivolt Drop Tester (MVDT) with CE Compliance designed for accurate measurement of voltage drop and contact resistance using a controlled high current source of up to 400A. This test is essential for evaluating electrical connections and is often required to meet various IEC standards.

The MVDT is widely used for testing MCBs, MCCBs, switchgear, and other electrical components, ensuring compliance with standards such as IEC 60898, IEC 60947-2, IEC 61008-1, and IEC 61009-1.

SCR Elektroniks offers a range of models, including MVDT M05, M10, M20, and M40, suited for routine testing across different current requirements.

Manual MVDT systems are equipped with a solid-state constant current source, along with a digital ammeter and a multi-range digital millivoltmeter, providing precise and reliable measurements.

All models are delivered as a complete testing solution, including the current source, measurement system, and user interface, with options for PC connectivity or onboard HMI.

Customisation

It can be customized with a dedicated PLC that stores test settings, runs the test sequence, measures millivolt drop and resistance, and saves results for later use or PC download.

The PC‑based TestWare software displays these results and allows them to be exported to Office applications.

Application & Test Scenarios

The product is used to measure the millivolt drop at a high dc voltage or to assess the micro-ohms of an MCB. The measurement is important – the MCB should not drop more voltage and consume active power in real world. Also the test ascertains if the MCB contacts are properly manufactured in side the MCB to prevent unwanted drops. The tester can be used as a routine tester if the manufacturers desires for additional compliance and quality control.
