The DRM-10W is a high-precision, portable DC resistance test instrumentexclusively designed for fast and accurate measurement of DC resistance in 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. Equipped with a 7.4V/10Ah large-capacity lithium battery, it can work continuously for more than 8 hours without external power supply, making it ideal for on-site testing. It also supports copper/aluminum temperature automatic conversion, 1000 groups of data storage, and USB data export. Ideal for factory acceptance tests, on-site commissioning tests and preventive maintenance tests of power transformers, motors, instrument transformers, switches, cables and busbars.

FAQ
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-10W 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: What is the automatic temperature conversion function?
A: The resistance of copper and aluminum conductors changes with temperature. The instrument can automatically convert the measured resistance value at the test temperature to the standard temperature (20℃ or 75℃) according to the temperature coefficient of copper or aluminum, making it easy to compare test results with standard values.
Q: How long does it take to test a transformer winding?
A: With the advanced fast charge/discharge circuit, the instrument can stabilize readings within 3 seconds for most transformer windings, which is 80% faster than traditional DC bridges. The total test time for a three-phase transformer is less than 1 minute.
Q: Does it support data storage and export?
A: Yes. It can store 1000 groups of test data with time stamp (power-off protection). The data can be exported to a USB flash drive in PDF or Excel format for further analysis and report generation.
