MEGGER Torkel 860 Multi Battery Load Tester

Batteries in power plants and transformer substations must provide the equipment they serve with standby power in the event of a power failure. Unfortunately, however, the capacity of such batteries can drop significantly for a number of reasons before their calculated life expectancy is reached. This is why it is so important to check batteries at regular intervals, and the only reliable way of measuring battery capacity is to conduct a discharge test.

TORKEL™ 840 – UTILITY is used for battery systems ranging from 12  to 250 V – often encountered in switchgear and similar equipment.  Discharging can take place at up to 110 A, and if higher current is  needed, two or more TORKEL 840 units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Tests can be conducted at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a preselected  load profile.  TORKEL 860 – MULTI is designed primarily for people who travel from place to place to maintain battery systems having different voltages. It features excellent discharging capacity plus a broad voltage range and outstanding portability – a unique combination.

TORKEL 860 is used for systems ranging from 12 to 480 V, and  discharging can proceed at up to 110 A. If higher current is desired, two or more TORKEL 860 units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Discharging can take place at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a preselected load profile.
