CURRENT MEASUREMENT

TORKEL measures the current and bases the regulation on:

current through TORKEL

current in an external circuit measured with a DC clamp-on ammeter

TIME-SAVING AND CONVENIENT

Automatic regulation - you do not need to spend time and attention on adjusting the current

Alarm when voltage approaches end-of-test voltage

Higher current - shortened testing time(also reduces recharging time)
