Decade Resistance Boxes 2793 #279301
Model 2793 decade resistance box is high-accuracy, stable DC variable resistor with 6 dials and is available in two styles: 279301 for medium resistance from 0.1 to 1,111.210 Ω in 1 mΩ steps (best suited for calibration of resistance thermometers or bridges); 279303 for high resistance from 0 to 111.1110 MΩ in 100 Ω steps (suitable for calibration of insulation resistance testers or bridges).
- High accuracy and stability
- High reproducibility
Excellent reproducibility is obtainable because dial switches with low contact resistance are used. For example, changes in contact resistance is within ± 1.1mΩ at 0.1Ω setting. - 1 mΩ resolution
- Simple, quick dial operation
- In-line display for city reading
- Ideal for calibration of resistance thermometers and brides
Due to its high accuracy and a dial system, various types of resistance thermometers and bridges can be calibrated accurately and promptly. - Excellent anti shock and -vibration properties
What is a Decade Capacitance Box Used for?
Decade capacitance boxes are test instruments that simulate prototypical electrical values.
Decade resistance box calibration procedures: The 279301 is used for medium resistance from 0.1 to 1,111.210 Ω in 1 mΩ steps (best suited for calibration of resistance thermometers or bridges). The 279303 is used for high resistance from 0 to 111.1110 MΩ in 100 Ω steps (suitable for calibration of insulation resistance testers or bridges).
What is a Decade Inductor?
Decade inductance boxes are another type of test instrument used for calibration.
