Megger GA-00210 Voltage Sensing Lead Set, 2 x 5 m, for TORKEL

Megger GA-00210 Overview

During a high-current discharge test, every metre of current cable drops a little voltage, and a TORKEL that reads voltage only at its current terminals will see a lower value than the battery really has. The Megger GA-00210 solves that with a pair of 5 m (16.4 ft) sensing leads taken straight to the battery terminals and into the TORKEL’s VOLTAGE SENSE input.

Who the Megger GA-00210 is for

It is for TORKEL users who run long current cables or discharge at high current, typically with a TORKEL 930 or TORKEL 950 at up to 220 A, or a TORKEL 910 at up to 110 A. Megger also lists the GA-00210 in its TORKEL 840/860 accessory documentation.

Megger GA-00210 Key Features

Why the sensing leads matter in a capacity test:

• Measures voltage directly at the battery terminals, offsetting the voltage drop in long current cables and/or at high current (Megger TORKEL datasheet)
• Two leads, each 5 m (16.4 ft), long enough to reach terminals across a battery stand
• Plugs into the TORKEL VOLTAGE SENSE input, whose impedance to the current terminals is greater than 1 MΩ
• Listed for both the TORKEL 900 series and the TORKEL 840/860

Megger GA-00210 Applications

Situations where sensing leads improve the result:

• Capacity tests to an end voltage, where a reading that is too low would end the test early and understate capacity
• Set-ups using the GA-09552 extension or other long current-cable runs
• High-current discharges on substation, telecom and UPS battery banks

Megger GA-00210 FAQ

Questions about the GA-00210 sensing leads:

• Do I always need sensing leads? Not always. Megger’s TORKEL 900 user guide notes that sensing cables are normally not needed, and recommends them to get a more accurate voltage reading when current cables are long and the discharge current is high.
• Where do the leads connect? Between the VOLTAGE SENSE input on the TORKEL and the battery terminals.
• What voltage range does the TORKEL measure? The TORKEL 900 series measures 0 to 500 V DC with an inaccuracy of ±(0.5% of reading + 0.1 V DC); the 910 and 930 accept inputs up to 300 V and the 950 up to 500 V.
• Is it the same lead set for TORKEL 840/860? Megger lists the GA-00210 in both the TORKEL 900-series and TORKEL 840/860 accessory lists.
