Megohmmeter and Ground Resistance Heading

 
GP-2 GEOTEST Ground Resistance/Resistivity Tester  
 
Benefits
  • Three point test (fall of potential) measures earth ground resistance as required by equipment manufacturer specifications and as mandated by national code requirements for proper grounding.
  • Two point test is used to test grounding wires resistance and resistance of connection points between ground system elements i.e. wires and electrodes.
  • Tests soil for a new ground system design.
  • Does not require any additional meters to test voltage before grounding test is performed.
  • Easy to operate.
  • Data can be stored for later viewing.
  • Downloads data to a personal computer to generate reports and store historical data.

0.01kΩm ±(2% of Rdg + 3 digits)

20.0kΩm to 199.9kΩm

0.1kΩm ±(2% of Rdg + 3 digits)
 
(*) Automatic selection of the range
(**) If Rp > 100RE and/or Rc > 100RE, Rp > 50kΩ and/or RC > 50kΩ, if the instrument carries out the test the accuracy of the instrument is ±(10% of reading).
  Rp = resistance of the voltage circuit.
Rc = resistance of the current circuit.
RE = earth resistance
p = 2ΠDRE = calculated resistivity
 
Testing Frequency 125Hz, 75Hz, 41.66Hz
Test Current 10mA
Open-terminal Measuring Voltage 25Vrms
Waveform of Measuring Voltage Sine-wave
 
Interfering Voltage:
Amperometric circuit: The measurement is taken with the stated accuracy if the interfering voltage is ≤ 3V, while for interfering voltages between 3V and 30V inclusive, the accuracy decreases progressively; with an interfering voltage of about 30V the instrument does not perform the test.
 
Voltmetric circuit: The measurement is taken if the interfering voltage is ≤ 3; in case of higher voltages the instrument does not perform the test.
 
 
Range Resolution Accuracy(**)

500V

1V ±(2% of Rdg + 2 digits)
