Special Adapters and Testers

   
There are occasional advantages to use the three wire, 250 volt home receptacles to supply current to Portable Power Centers. When portable generators are either not available or desirable and the electrical draw will not exceed the current available, then adapters can be used. The adapters are equipped with a grounding clamp which must be attached to a grounded water pipe. Adapters are 6ft. Long and have CS6364 female cord end. The male end will match either the Electric Range or the Dryer outlet in homes.

52324 Bench Test Cord for Portable Power Centers enables the operator to test Portable Power Centers by using the common U-Ground wall receptacles as a source instead of a 4 wire 125/250 volt source as is used in the field. The male end is a 15 amp 125 volt U-Ground plug, attached to 12 feet of 12/3 SJTW-A cord and the female end is wired to a CS6364, 50 amp 125/250 volt connector that plugs into the Portable Power Center. With this adapter the user can use our tester to check the 20amp 125 volt breakers for GFCI trip leve. CAUTION: This "Bench" Test Cord" is not designed for production work, but is used ONLY for bench test work.
     
52999 Combination Ground Fault and Circuit Tester.
  The Tester makes three tests.
First it tests for correct polarity and continuity. Then the GFI testing Procedures continue.
Second is the Ground Fault test. It is push button controlled. There are 2 tests levels: 4 milliamp, and GFI Trip Test Level. These tests allow an accurate determination of the performance of you GFI device. If your device trips at 4 milliamps its trip level is too sensitive and will likely exhibit "nuisance tripping". If the unit does not trip at the GFI Trip Test Level setting then Ground Fault protection is not being provided by your GFI device. GFI devices that do not trop at 4 milliamps and trip at GFI Trip Test Level will provide proper protection without "nuisance tripping". The third test is for low voltage. A light lights up when there is low voltage.
