Interpole Arabia Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT) – Precision DC Motor Coil Inspection
Interpole Arabia maintains full-fledged facilities in Dammam and Jubail Industrial Areas, equipped for heavy electrical equipment repair and overhaul. Among our specialized DC motor testing accessories, the Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT) accessory stands out for its precision and reliability.
The Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT) accessory enables technicians to perform bar‑to‑bar surge comparison tests on DC motor armatures. It also allows testing of single coils that have very low inductance. Unlike conventional surge testers, this accessory measures test voltage using a 4‑wire system, making it independent of load conditions. Moreover, it can deliver surge outputs up to 1400 V, offering flexibility across diverse testing scenarios.
Why Use Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT)?
Surge testing helps detect insulation weaknesses and faults such as turn‑to‑turn shorts within armature windings. By using the Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT) accessory, technicians gain more accurate insights. This accessory improves fault detection, leading to safer, more reliable motor operation.
Compatibility & Ease of Use
Designed as part of the iTIG motor test accessory series, the Armature Bar‑to‑Bar Surge Testing (ABT) integrates easily with Electrom iTIG testers. You get a specialized interface that quickly guides you through DC armature and coil testing procedures. With this accessory, setup becomes intuitive and repeatable, improving your testing workflow.
