OVERVIEW

 

A double – clamp ground resistance tester combines multiple functions. It can measure ground resistance, soil resistivity, ground voltage, ground – wire leakage current, and alternating current (AC). It supports a variety of measurement methods, such as the precision 4-line method, 3-line method, simple 2-line method, selection method, and dual clamp method, which can flexibly cope with various measurement needs. Its large-diameter current clamp design can directly measure the ground resistance value of complex grounding structures such as the under-line ground system, accurately testing single-point and mesh grounding. Convenient. The test instrument uses FFT (Four -Fourier Transformation) technology and AFC (automatic frequency control) technology to ensure high accuracy, stable and reliable measurement results. The shell adopts a solid and durable waterproof protective box, which is anti-collision, falling, and waterproof (the protective grade of the lid is up to IP65), which is suitable for harsh environments such as outdoor construction sites.

FAQ

 

Q: How do you measure ground resistance with a clamp meter?

A:

1. Get a Grounding Clamp Meter:
Ensure it has a “ground resistance” function.

2. Prepare and Isolate:
Clean the area, disconnect the grounding, and zero the clamp.

3. Position and Measure:
Clamp around the electrode, and measure the current.

4. Calculate Resistance:
Use Ohm’s Law or check the meter reading.

5. Interpret Results:
Compared with standards, lower values are better. Always follow safety guidelines.

 

Q: What is the theory of clamp-on ground resistance tester?

A: A clamp-on ground resistance tester employs inductive coupling, detecting the magnetic field induced by ground current. The clamp sensor analyzes this field to calculate ground resistance, providing efficient and non-intrusive testing without direct contact with the ground.

 

Q: What are the three most common methods of determining ground resistance?

A:

1. Fall of Potential (3-point) Method:

Measures voltage drop between a current injection electrode and a distant ground electrode.
2. Wenner 4-point Method:

Utilizes four equally spaced electrodes to assess ground resistance.
3. Clamp-On Method:

A clamp meter measures the magnetic field around the grounding conductor, determining resistance without ground contact.
