Metrohm METE3640 4kV Flash Tester LV HV Electrical Testing Digital Flash Tester Martindale Electric Flash Testers & Insulation Testers Martindale Electric Metrohm METE3640 4kV Flash Tester Description The Metrohm E3640 is a 4kV AC flash tester is capable of operating from either a 115V or 230V supply, at 50 or 60Hz. the Metrohm E3640 has a twin 3 1/2 digit LCD display which shows both output voltage and leakage current. The Metrohm flash tester device is built into a robust carry case, making it easily portable. The Metrohm E3640 is a 4kV AC flash tester has three modes of operation, where the fail lamp on the E3640 illuminates and a buzzer will sound: 1. Trip: will trip when a pre-determined current is exceeded 2. Breakdown: fast transients can trigger the trip 3. Burn: where the trip function is by-passed and the fault current flows continuously to expose the fault Martindale Electric Metrohm METE3640 4kV Flash Tester Specifications Power Requirement: 115 / 230V +/- 15%, 50/60Hz, 40VA Fuses: 230V: 5 x 20mm 0.25A, HBC, Type F 115V: 5 x 20mm 0.5A, HBC, Type F Output Voltage Range: 0 - 2.2, 0 - 4.2kV 50 / 60Hz AC Accuracy: +/- 2% of reading +/- 1 digit Leakage Current: 0 - 5mA (nominal), 50 / 60Hz in 10µA steps Accuracy: +/- 2% reading, +/- 1 digit Trip Level Range: 0 to 3mA 50 / 60Hz Setting Accuracy: +/- 5% of full range Trip Response Leakage: Will trip for fault duration >5mS but not for <100µS Breakdown: Will trip for fast transients of 30µS and above Complies with: EMC to BS EN 50081-1 & BS EN 50082-2 Safety & Flash Test: BS EN 61010-1 Dimensions: 330 x 263 x 144mm Weight: 4kg approx Martindale Electric Metrohm METE3640 4kV Flash Tester Contents Metrohm METE3640 4kV Flash Tester Flash gun Earth lead Mains power lead Instruction manual

INDICATORS
kV ON: Red lamp shows the high voltage circuit is energised
The E3640 digital flash tester is a portable mains operated
instrument, capable of operating from either 115V or 230V
at 50/60Hz. It applies up to 4kV AC and displays output
voltage and leakage current on the twin 3½ digit LCD’s.
The unit has three modes:
Breakdown - fast transients can trigger the trip;
Burn - where the trip function is bypassed and the fault
current flows continuously to expose the fault;
Hold - shows breakdown voltage and leakage current.
