The MAT1000 transducer is used to measure the electrical resistance of cable, wire and other material samples in incoming goods inspection, production monitoring and quality assurance. The test specimen, a so-called meter sample of a cable or wire, is clamped into the transducer and the electrical resistance between the two potential taps, which are exactly 1000 mm apart, is measured.

In combination with devices of the MR200/250/300C-A series in particular, the MAT1000 transducer can be used to measure electrical resistances from 200 m to approximately less than 100 7 per meter, corresponding to cross-sections of approximately 0.1 mm² to over 100 mm². A homogeneous current distribution, a prerequisite for highly accurate measurements, is achieved by the spatial distance between the potential tap and the current connection. It is approximately eight times the largest permissible diameter.

A stable and torsion-resistant bed made of light metal, non-rusting, with two fixed clamping devices ensures that the test specimen is held securely. a coarse presetting of the clamping jaws allows adjustment to the diameter, while the quick-release levers ensure smooth test field operation. The transducer can be used under water.

A plastic guide rail included in the scope of delivery can be used to prevent thin wires from sagging and thus changes in length. Above all, however, a groove in the guide rail allows the test specimen to be protected against draughts and thus against rapid changes in temperature and resistance.
