Following the success of the Model HF-15B high-frequency sine wave spark tester, Clinton’s range of DC spark testers has been redesigned to include many B-Series advances. These include an innovative split-electrode design for easy string up, and digital signal processor (DSP)-based voltage regulation and fault detection. The fault-detection circuit has been upgraded and test voltage is now monitored directly from the electrode, instead of a transformer winding. The fault circuitry 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. The RC controller is supplied xed to the unit, but can be detached and mounted remotely up to 60m away from the test module/electrode, and can be rotated in its bracket for di erent viewing angles. The display allows easy equipment re-con gurations directly from the front panel menu structure. Clinton will exhibit another D-Series model, the new TSTB model, a 10 kV DC wireless spark test system

high-frequency AC, mains frequency AC, and DC spark testers to all major speci cations. It can document all of Clinton’s new B-Series spark testers and selected A-Series models. Manual or assisted calibration can be performed on older Clinton units as well as equipment manufactured by others. When paired with Clinton’s model SM sensitivity tester, a complete calibration solution to IEC and NEMA standards is provided. Clinton Instrument Company – USA Website : www.cicsparkers.com

Condat Booth: 1351

With more than 160 years of expertise, and due to the synergies of the Condat group’s international structure (four production units) and technical know-how, its lubricants are recognised worldwide. Condat o ers an extensive range covering all industrial lubrication needs in the eld of cold drawing/rolling of wires, bars and tubes. ➢➣➢

for cable twinners. The control unit remains outside the twinning bow and communicates to the high-voltage test module located within the rotating machinery. It will be demonstrated on a model twinner. Also on show will be the STCAL automatic spark tester calibration system, which can automatically calibrate
