HARE-series 100/200/300A micro-ohmmeter
The HARE series is a micro-ohmmeter manufactured using advanced engineering technologies that can apply up to 100A/ 200A/ 300A test current. With its easy-to-use software, the HARE series can easily measure the contact resistance of circuit breakers, shunt and disconnectors by applying an adjustable test current of up to 100A/ 200A/ 300A, depending on the model.
The HARE Series lets you measure low resistances in switches, disconnectors and shunts quickly and reliably. Depending on the model, you apply a test current of up to 100 A / 200 A / 300 A for a stable measurement with high resolution. The measuring range of 0.1 µΩ to 5 Ω, the 4.3″ colour touch screen and internal storage (≈ 1000 records) make the HARE the practical workhorse for field and workshop.
Key benefits
- High test currents – up to 100 A / 200 A / 300 A (model dependent) for reliable contact resistance measurements
- Wide measuring range – 0.1 µΩ to 5 Ω with high resolution for contact points and shunts
- Quickly ready – user-friendly interface, all results clearly displayed on one screen
- Smart data handling – internal storage (≈ 1000 measurements) and USB export for reporting
- Field-capable – compact, robust, designed for fast on-site diagnosis
Applications
- Circuit breakers –Check static contact resistance of main contacts
- Disconnectors & separators – verify very low resistance connections
- Shunts – main and measurement shunts measured through at high currents
Why choose the HARE Series?
- You get stable measurements at high test current: it breaks through oxide layers on the contacts and gives a reproducible value
- You work quickly and flawlessly thanks to the clear touchscreen and easy workflow
- You document instantly with internal storage and easy USB export for reporting or quality records
Which HARE variant do I need: 100 A, 200 A or 300 A?
-
For standard contact measurements, 100 A is often sufficient. Choose 200 A or 300 A for heavy power switches, thicker conductors or when you want maximum penetration and low-Ω stability.
Does the HARE also measure dynamic resistance?
-
No. The HARE only measures static contact resistance; HighTest supplies it as a static contact resistance tester. For a dynamic resistance measurement, use the ARES-200D or a breaker analyser with a DRM function.
