Description
The DRM-10 is a high-precision, cost-effective basic single-channel DC resistance test instrumentexclusively designed for fast and accurate measurement of DC resistance in small and medium inductive and resistive loads. It fully complies with DL/T 845.3-2019 and GB 50150-2016 standards, adopting advanced constant current source technology and 4-wire Kelvin measurement method to eliminate lead resistance and contact resistance errors, replacing traditional DC single and double arm bridges.
The instrument features a 5.6-inch high-brightness industrial LCD screen and intuitive keypad operation, supporting both fixed current and automatic current selection modes. It has a built-in fast charge/discharge circuit that can stabilize readings within 3 seconds, and a comprehensive back-EMF protection system to ensure operator and equipment safety. It supports copper/aluminum temperature automatic conversion, 1000 groups of data storage, and USB data export. With AC220V power supply and compact portable design, it is suitable for both laboratory and on-site testing. Ideal for factory acceptance tests (FAT), on-site commissioning tests and preventive maintenance tests of 10kV-35kV distribution transformers, motors, instrument transformers, switches, cables, busbars and welding points.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between DRM-10, DRM-10W and DRM-20?
A:
- DRM-10 (Basic 10A): 10A maximum current, AC220V power supply only, 3.5kg weight, entry-level price, optimized for 10kV-35kV distribution transformers and basic on-site testing
- DRM-10W (Portable 10A): 10A maximum current, built-in 8-hour lithium battery, 6kg weight, optimized for remote on-site testing without power supply
- DRM-20 (High-Current 20A): 20A maximum current, AC220V power supply (optional battery), 7kg weight, optimized for 35kV-110kV medium and large transformers All three use 4-wire Kelvin measurement and have the same ±0.2% measurement accuracy.
Q: What is the advantage of 4-wire Kelvin measurement over 2-wire measurement?
A: 2-wire measurement includes the resistance of the test leads and contacts in the result, which can cause significant errors for low resistance measurements. 4-wire Kelvin measurement uses two separate pairs of leads: one pair to supply current and the other pair to measure voltage, completely eliminating lead and contact resistance errors. This is essential for accurate measurement of low resistances below 1Ω.
Q: Can DRM-10 test inductive loads such as transformer windings?
A: Yes. It is specifically designed for inductive load testing. It has a built-in fast charge/discharge circuit and comprehensive back-EMF protection system that can safely absorb the reverse electromotive force generated by inductive loads during discharge, preventing damage to the instrument and ensuring operator safety.
Q: How long does it take to test a 35kV distribution transformer winding?
A: With the advanced fast charge/discharge circuit and 10A high-current output, the instrument can stabilize readings within 3 seconds for most 35kV distribution transformer windings, which is 80% faster than traditional DC bridges.
