Note that such a tester may be unnecessary. Note that 2.6.3.3 requires testing only "for PROTECTIVE BONDING CONDUCTORS that do not comply with the minimum sizes in table 3B and for protective bonding terminals that do not comply with table 3E". You are unlikely to find a tester of this size on the market, and would probably find it unreasonably expensive if you did. All you need is an autotransformer and a high current step down transformer (a welder may do). Keep in mind this is a brief test and you do not need 2400 VA rated equipment.
Bob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Loop, Robert Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Grounding Continuity Testers for UL 60950 Good Morning Group, Does anyone have any information regarding high amperage continuity testers that might be purchased for testing compliance with Sub-Clause 2.6.3 of UL 60950? My concern is regarding high amperage equipment and the requirement to test at two times the circuit current. We are looking at a product rated at 100 amps. Where in the world can we get a tester that would go up to 200 amps with a 12 V output?
