Features
The AEMC 3620 Analog Ground Resistance Tester performs ground resistance measurement from 0.5 to 1000Ω with speed and accuracy. The Model 3620 features three-terminal operation for fall-of-potential earth/ground resistance, and may also be used for 2-Point tests.
The large 3.1" logarithmic scale is easy to read, with a separate marking for 25Ω. A large Press-to-Measure button allows for easy measurements. A manual zero adjust is provided for accurate readings. Color-coded terminals are easy-to-use banana plug inputs and binding posts.
Applications
The 3620 Ground Resistance Tester is the ideal instrument for electrical contractors, power utilities, REAs, telephone and CATV technicians, and inspectors who must check ground to determine compliance with NEC, OSHA and other specifications. Applications include:
