NM01MC1540

The Parker Research MC-1540 Cable Set is a set of two heavy-duty cables designed for use with Parker Research's DA-750 and DA-1500 portable magnetic particle inspection (MPI) units. Each cable in the set is 15 feet (approximately 4.57 meters) long and made of 4/0 AWG wire, which is a thick gauge necessary for carrying the high amperage used in MPI.  

The key feature of this cable set is its connector configuration: one end of each cable is terminated with a lug connector, and the other end has an "either end" connector.  

Here's a breakdown of the components and their significance:

• Two Cables: The set includes two identical cables, essential for completing the electrical circuit between the power pack and the inspection area.  

• 15 Foot Length: This length provides a good working distance, allowing the operator to move around the test piece without being restricted by short cables.

• 4/0 AWG Wire: The thick gauge ensures minimal voltage drop and efficient delivery of high amperage (AC or HWDC) required for effective magnetic particle inspection using the DA-750 and DA-1500 units.

• Lug Connector: A lug is a type of electrical connector that typically has a ring or fork shape with a hole for screw or bolt attachment. This end is designed for a secure and direct connection to a terminal post on the MPI unit or other equipment.

• "Either End" Connector: This type of connector is designed to offer versatility in how it can be connected. It likely allows for connection to various terminals or can accommodate different types of cable ends, providing flexibility in setting up the inspection.
