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.
Description:
Fluke 1630-2 clamp measures earth ground loop resistances
for multi-grounded systems using the dual-clamp jaw. This test technique eliminates the dangerous and time-consuming activity of disconnecting parallel grounds, and the process of finding suitable locations for auxiliary test stakes. Ideal for testing the grounding components of equipment in hard-to-reach spaces. ...
