Mexico becomes manufacturing hub for Madem Reels Group

Clinton Instrument Company, a specialist in spark test technology for the wire and cable industry and inventor of the high frequency sine wave spark tester, now has a full range of B-series spark testers. Following the success of the Model HF-15B high frequency sine wave spark tester, Clinton’s new o erings of 50 Hz/60 Hz AC testers, as well as DC spark testers, have all been redesigned to include the many advancements of the B-series. Among the noteworthy features of the B-series is the split-electrode design for superior electrode coverage and easy string up, as well as digital signal processor (DSP)-based voltage regulation and fault detection. The fault detection circuit has been fully upgraded, and now di erentiates between four types of fault conditions: simple pinholes, a series of closely spaced pinholes, direct metal contact from the centre conductor to the electrode, and gross lengths of bare wire.
