 The DET3TC offers the solution
for users who are concerned about the inherent dangers and potential cost
implications of disconnection of the earth spike.
Using the optional Iclamp these problems can be avoided.
The new ground testing
instrument family from Megger offers a unique solution to your ground
stake testing needs. The complete kit of instrument, test leads,
stakes, batteries and calibration certificate are delivered in a tough
polypropylene carry case - everything you need to start testing in one
kit.
The ground rod tester is
rated to IP54 making it truly an outdoor instrument. The ground tester
has been designed to be easy to use - a large selector switch makes
selection of 2 pole or 3 pole test easy with gloved hands - and the
design makes the fitting of shorting links to perform 2 pole tests a
thing of the past. Using the optional clamp around the ground rod
connection allows the testing of the rod without the need for
disconnection, leaving the earthing system intact during testing
(ART). A large, clear, easy to read LCD display and thumb sized test
button again makes the instrument particularly suited to the outdoor
conditions of ground testing.
In addition to this ease of
use, the ground tester also automatically checks the connection of the
P spike and C spike, indicating the status on the display. The
instrument also includes a voltmeter to allow you to measure the
ground voltage. The ground tester can measure resistance from 0.01 ½
through to 2000 ½ and earth voltages up to 100 V. To allow accurate
testing in noisy environments the instrument is capable of rejecting
noise of up to 40 V peak
to peak.
The Megger digital ground
tester is powered by eight AA batteries which are widely available and
also give excellent testing time - the status of these batteries is
given by a bar graph on the LCD display allowing you to decide when to
change the batteries, before they expire. The Megger ground testers
are designed to meet stringent safety standards and are rated CAT IV
100 V.
