Earth and ground resistance testers are essential electrical instruments used to ensure the grounding resistance of appliances and equipment is sufficient. Ground and earth meters are vital for ensuring a safe path to earth is established, in case of utility over voltage or lightning strike.
What types of testers are available?
Ground and earth testers are available in a variety of formats including
Clamp
Desktop
Handheld
Plug in
Why is grounding important?
Testing the earth resistance of an appliance is an important test and measurement procedure as it ensures appliances are safe to use and also stabilises voltage levels. Grounding also prevents the risk of injury or death from a sudden over voltage or fault.
