FDB Electrical – specialists in earth monitoring equipment are increasing their support to defence contractors, design/specification engineers and electrical project engineers for their PCLM modular range by provision of a downloadable PDF datasheet available from www.fdb.uk.com. The PCLM has been designed especially for application in modular electrical systems as used by military or quasi-military organisations for temporary bases, field hospitals, mobile communications centres, forward command centres etc.

The PCLM (Pilot Core Loop Monitor – also known as an earth resistance monitor – ERM) measures the impedance of earth connections within Field Electrical Power Distribution Systems (FEPDS) and is designed for rough usage including air drop insertion (withstanding 1000G Shock) to operate in temperatures -40ºC to +80ºC and to withstand the bombardment of Neutron & Gamma rays in the event of a nuclear attack.

Installation involves fitting to a mobile generator and to each of the associated modular distribution modules. The new datasheet provides installation/operation data including information on the TER5 terminator unit used in conjunction with the PCLM.
