Industrial micro-ohmmeter MIKO-1 is designed to measure the contact resistance to dire­ct current:

  • contacts of high-voltage and automatic circuit breakers;
  • relay contacts, disconnectors;
  • bolted, welded and brazed joints of current leads and busbars;
  • rail connections, wagon wheel pairs, etc.

User participation in the measurement process is minimal. The me­asurement process is started by pressing one button, without any additional settings.

To obtain reliable values, it is recommended to make measurements at the test current as close to the object nominal current as possible.

Measurements are made using a hi­ghly stable DC current. This all­ows measuring the electrical resis­tance of circuits containing current transformers, which are usually fitted on high-voltage dead tank circuit breakers.

MIKO-1 is designed for operation in harsh electromagnetic e­nvironment of power stations and sub­stations, with measuring channels of the de­vice allowing to suppress electromagnetic interference of industrial frequency.

Integrated battery in MIKO-1 provides its portability and has a capacity sufficient to per­form to 50 measurements. It is charged from an internal charger powered by the mains.

The device has a small weight (3.6 kg) and small dimensions; a special bag provid­es its convenient movement, which allows to connect it on various circuit breakers.

If you have to carry out diagnostics in difficult weather conditions, you can be sure of the accuracy of the results. MIKO-1 micro-ohmmeter is guaranteed to operate at temperatures from -15°C to + 40°C.

    Taksimovskaya distance of power supply the branch of Russian Railways

    In Taksimovskaya distance of power supply we have been operating MIKO-2.3 micro-milli-kilo-ohmmeter manufactured by SKB EP LLC. This is the second device of this type. The first one, MIKO-1, has been in operation at the distance for about ten years and has proven itself perfectly, as well as the new device. With the help of MIKO-2.3 we check DC resistance of the current-carrying circuit of high-voltage circuit breakers. Large values of this resistance can lead to serious damage of electrical equipment and local heating of current-carrying parts. The advantage of MIKO-2.3 is the design of the test cables with a built-in C-clamp, which provides easy and error-free connection to the measurement object. Light weight and small dimensions make it easy to move the device to the measurement equipment.

    PD Cherepovets Electric Power Network the branch of IDGC of North-West, PJSC

    In the production activities, our production department uses the following devices manufactured by SKB EP, LLC:

    • PKV/M7 high-voltage circuit breaker analyzer (in operation since 2008);
    • PUV-regulator dedicated for controlling the drive of a high-voltage circuit breaker at low voltage (in operation since 2019);
    • MIKO-1 industrial microohmmeter (in operation since 2019).

    Above-mentioned devices are used for diagnostics of both Russian-manufactured high-voltage circuit breakers (VMT-110, MKP-110, VT-35, S-35, VK-10, VMP-10) and of foreign production (LTB-145).

    Being used these devices have proven themselves to be the best side. With the help of PKV/M7, it became possible to detect internal defects of the circuit breakers in a non-demountable mode. The functionality of the device is very simple and easy to use. The device allows you to control main characteristics of high-voltage circuit breakers. The main faults identified by PKV/M7 during repairs are the different timing of contact closures. When analyzing the speed characteristics, speed dips are detected that indicate the presence of jamming or mashing in the mechanism and that means that repair is required. Before this device was purchased, all the characteristics had to be taken with the demount of the circuit breaker, which led to an increase in the repair time.

    The device for controlling the drive of a high-voltage circuit breaker at a low voltage (PUV-regulator) was purchased for the needs of our division relatively recently. The presence of this device made it possible to check the operability of a high-voltage circuit breaker at low voltage, which is one of the standards for testing and measurements.

    Industrial microohmmeter MIKO-1 is also relatively new for our company, but it has proven itself only on the positive side.

    All the devices we use are mobile. One more advantage of MIKO-1 is the presence of autonomous power supply.

    We would also like to thank you for holding free webinars dedicated to the study of the devices manufactured by your company.

    I definitely recommend these devices for organizations that operate high-voltage equipment.
