Ram Meter Inc. - July 2021 Newsletter

July 21st, 2021:
We have just released our July 2021 Newsletter. Read on to see what we have in store this month.

Perhaps you've been experiencing those "dog days" of summer this July. In ancient times, the rising of the star system, Sirius, in astrology was connected to times of heat, drought, and mad dogs. That's why it is sometimes known as the Dog Star. We at Ram Meter hope you've been staying cool during these record breaking heat spikes. And make the most of your dog days with some of the great products from Ram Meter Inc.!


And you're in luck as we're glad to feature a new product line this month, Greenlee/HD Electric!

HD Electric DVI-500T/K02 Digital Voltage Indicator w/Test Point Mode - 500 kV KIT02 w/Underground Bushing Probe & Proof Tester

The HD Electric Digital Voltage Indicators, DVI-500T/K02, is a single point instrument designed to read the voltage on a conductor up to 500kV line-to-ground. The large LED readout is easy to read on the end of a long hotstick (sold separately) and can be used on overhead lines or in underground applications with an underground bushing probe (included). The DVI emits an audible alarm when voltage above 100VAC is detected. It is very easy to use as there are no range selector switches or settings to be made – just contact the conductor and read the display.

Features:

  • DVI-500T/K02 includes: HP-DVI-2 2" Overhead Hook Probe, HP-DVI-6 6" Overhead Hook Probe, IEP-DVI-5 Underground Bushing Probe, PT-DVI Proof Tester & CS-DVI-5 Carrying Case Measures voltage up to 500kv line-to-ground
  • Capacitive Test Point Mode
  • Voltage readout distinguishes between nominal and induced voltages
  • Audible indication when voltage is detected
  • Auto-shutoff and low battery indication features
  • Versatile for overhead and underground applications

HD Electric UCT-8/K02 Underground Cable Tester KIT02 - 8 DCkV w/Hook Probe, Bushing Probe & Elbow Probe

The HD Electric UCT-8/K02 Underground Cable Fault Tester is a lightweight, one-piece operation for underground DC leakage current testing. This tool is used to test the de-energized primary shielded voltage cable for a fault. Test results are clearly displayed as an analog bar graph along with an indication of a good or faulted cable. A self-contained 8kV high voltage source powers the tester using a 9V lithium battery, making the UCT-8 a compact single hotstick operation tool for testing cable.

Features:

  • UCT-8/K02 includes: Overhead Brass Hook Probe, Bushing Probe, Elbow Probe & Carrying Case
  • Compact and lightweight solution for underground cable testing
  • DC Hi-Pot test of de-energized, shielded underground primary cable
  • No external power required - self-contained 8kVDC voltage source
  • Can be used up to a distance of 1500 ft (457m)
  • Clear and simple test results - analog bar graph and indication of good or faulted cable
  • Safety feature - measures AC voltage before converting to a DC voltage tester
  • Lightweight, single hot stick operation for testing cable
