steel reel weighing less than 25 pounds.

High voltage measuring
Haefely Hipotronics, a developer and
provider of high voltage test systems
and measuring devices, has launched the

measuring instrument 2823-REF.
The 2823 is, claims the company, the
highest precision tan δ/power factor
measuring instrument on the market. It
uniquely combines more than 50 years
of experience in high voltage testing
together with the latest technology.
The IP50 protection and the electrically
decoupled communications hardware
increase operator safety as no electrical
