HARTING 10 B multiphase test connector

HARTING has released the 10 B multiphase test connector designed to prevent failures and ensure worker safety when performing maintenance on machinery. Featuring simple measurements, the tool is a suitable control device for service technicians and engineers, as well as all personnel tasked with the installation, service and maintenance of three-phase motors (230/240 VAC, 50 Hz).

The reliable operation of machinery and equipment is indispensable for production and servicing. Failures result in high costs and demand quick response. This is especially true during maintenance, when replacing defective equipment, and during the connection and installation of replacement components. Improper procedures, inadequate testing and defects during installation can irreversibly damage motors and result in manufacturing interruptions.

The multiphase test connector, however, determines the connection of the phases (L1, L2, L3) on the AC motor power supply, as well as the interconnection at initial torque (star or delta connection) and the direction of rotation. These parameters are important for safe connection, swapping components and servicing, and for avoiding maintenance errors. The test connector also meets DIN EN 61010-1 standards.
