errors and advice on how to avoid them
The Guide includes a useful section explaining the role and importance of resistance measurement in the manufacture of electronic components, switches, relays, connectors cabling, electric motor and generators and fuses.
Information on resistance measurement requirements in the automotive and railway utilities industries has also been featured.
There's a handy glossary of terms at the end of the Guide, providing an easy-to-follow explanation of terms relating to both bonding and earth resistance, as well as common industry acronyms such as DMM (digital multimeter), DUT (device under test) and AWG (American wire gauge).
Cropico's high-quality reputation goes back over 50 years and the company's range includes a wide range of digital microhmmeters, resistance decade boxes, test standards and temperature measurement solutions.
Copies of the Guide are available free of charge from Cropico customer services. Tel.: 0191 5878748 or fax: 0191 586 0227. E-mail: sales@cropico.com or visit: www.cropico.com
