earth resistance tester

An  earth  resistance  tester,  for  grounding  resistance  measurement.  It  is  essential  towards  the  protection  and  effective  operation  of  electrical  systems  and  for  deterring  potential  electric  hazards.  An  earth  resistance  tester  is  used  by  professionals  to  confirm  that  the  ground  system  has  been  correctly  laid  and  works  well.  The  way  it  works  is  by  sending  a  tiny  current  through  the  Earth  and  seeing  what  the  resistance  of  that  current  in  the  ground  would  be.  Users  can  evaluate  the  grounding  system  quality  from  this  resistance  measurement  and  adjust  accordingly  to  get  better  performance.

An  earth  resistance  tester  (also  known  as  a  ground  resistance  tester)  is  a  self-contained,  compact,  handheld  instrument  used  to  perform  the  measurement  of  earth  or  ground  resistance  and  soil  resistivity.  It  comprises  a  transmitter  and  receiver  that  cooperate  to  transmit  current  through  the  earth  and  measure  resistance  resulting  from  the  passage  of  current  therethrough.  A  current  is  induced  into  the  ground,  through  a  ground  stake,  by  the  transmitter  and  reapplied  to  the  receiver  after  passing  through  a  second  ground  stake  where  it  is  sensed.  The  ratio  between  the  current  and  the  voltage  enables  the  device  to  estimate  the  resistance  of  ground.  Now  from  that  data,  You  can't  really  tell  if  your  grounding  system  is  provideing  a  good  ground  or  not  (Misclich).  This  information  is  very  valuable  in  ensuring  the  grounding  plays  right  avoiding  Electrical  shock  and  equipment  destruction.

What is an earth resistance tester and how does it work?

When  selecting  an  earth  resistance  tester,  it  is  important  to  take  multiple  factors  into  account  so  you  purchase  the  best  equipment  for  your  requirements.  A  few  of  the  things  you  need  to  take  into  consideration  are  its  measurement  range,  accuracy,  how  easy  it  is  to  use  and  how  durable  the  tester  is.  You'll  also  need  to  consider  size  and  weight  of  the  device,  along  with  any  other  like  features.  The  calibration  and  maintenance  of  the  tester  should  also  be  considered  for  accurate  reliable  measurement  over  time.
