What is BS 6705 - Electrical measuring instruments about?
BS 6705 is a British Standard which specifies limiting parameters for input/output circuits of portable electrical measuring instruments for testing intrinsically safe circuits used in coal mines.
BS 6705 applies to the following types of test circuits when connected to intrinsically safe circuits having a voltage not exceeding 60 V peak at the point of test:
- Voltage dependent circuits
- Current dependent circuits
- Current injection circuits
Who is BS 6705 - Electrical measuring instruments for?
BS 6705 on electrical measuring instruments is helpful for:
- Coal mining industries
- Government sector
- Power and energy supply industry
- Chemical production organizations
Why should you use BS 6705 - Electrical measuring instruments?
Having access to reliable guidelines is essential to prepare and use quality electrical measuring instruments for use on intrinsically safe circuits in coal mines. BS 6705 provides manufacturers with the limiting parameters for electrical measuring circuits and the requirements for marking and documentation which allows them to effectively manufacture and test electrical measuring instruments.
BS 6705 provides users with efficient and standardized electrical measuring instruments for use on intrinsically safe circuits in coal mines.
