PROMET Micro ohm meter

Micro ohm meter in the automotive industry

Measuring electrical resistance in the micro ohm range is crucial in the automotive industry to ensure the efficiency, safety, and performance of electrical systems. Digital micro ohm meter measuring devices are used to reliably test high-current connections, battery contacts, and components for electromobility, among other things. They are particularly important in the following areas:

  1. Battery testing: The electrical resistance of the connections affects the efficiency and temperature development of the for example car battery.
  2. E-mobility: Measure electrical resistance in electric motors to prevent faults such as overheating or corrosion.
  3. Cables and connectors: Regular testing ensures that cables and connections conduct electricity efficiently and that overheating or fires do not occur.
  4. Charging systems: Measuring microohms on chargers and plugs ensures efficient and safe charging.

In rail vehicles and commercial vehicles, it is used to check switches, conductor rails, and welds, while in aviation it is used to ensure reliable connections in safety-critical systems. In shipbuilding, it also contributes to the quality assurance of cable and distribution systems.

Multimeter vs. micro ohm meter

In electrical engineering, measuring electrical resistance is one of the fundamental tasks. Simple measurement methods are sufficient in the higher ohm range, but precise measurements for quality assurance in the micro- or milliohm range place special demands on the technology used.  The choice of measurement method determines how accurate and reliable the results are.

Multimeters usually use the 2-wire method, while professional measuring systems such as the PROMET product family rely on the more accurate 4-wire or Kelvin measuring method. 

In order to meet the highest quality and safety standards, the precise measurement of even the smallest resistances is essential. This is precisely where the micro-ohmmeter demonstrates its superiority over the multimeter and delivers the accurate results that are crucial.

Multimeters are commonly used for basic tasks such as testing car battery with multimeter. But when precise results in the micro- or milliohm range are required, other measurement methods can offer clear advantages.
