Megger BVM600 Battery Voltage Monitor
The Megger BVM600 Battery Voltage Monitor is a battery voltage measurement device that is used for the capacity testing of large, industrial battery banks commonly found in electrical power sub-stations, telecom facilities and computer data center UPS systems. When used in conjunction with a load device, such as the TORKEL unit, and test data management software, such as PowerDB and TORKEL Win, the BVM600 enables to perform a completely automated battery bank capacity test, according to IEC test method. The test also meets NERC/FERC requirements. The BVM600 is designed in modular form where one BVM600 device is used for each battery or "jar" in the string to be tested. One BVM for each battery connects to the next in a "daisy-chain" fashion, thereby providing easy and economical expandability to meet the testing requirements for small-to-large battery bank systems.
The Megger BVM600 includes a dolphin clip that can be easily removed and exchanged with various styles of standard banana plug clamps or extension cables to accommodate a variety of battery connection requirements. Set up is fast and simple, and each until is identical and can be connected in any battery test positions. Up to 120 of these products can safely be daisy-chained in a single battery bank under test. High accuracy and stability is one of the hallmarks of the BVM600 battery voltage monitor.
