AEMC 6417 Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester with Bluetooth, 1500 Ω, 40 A

Model: 6417 | Order No: 2141.02

Use this ground resistance tester to measure grounding electrodes and grid resistance without auxiliary rods. In addition, the clamp-on feature can be used in multi-grounded systems without disconnecting the ground system under test by simply clamping around the ground conductor or rod and measuring the resistance to the ground.

  • Direct reading of ground leakage or phase current from 1mA to 30Arms
  • Jaw design with large 1.25" (32mm) window - accommodates up to 1000MCM cables
  • Auto-off for power management
  • CE Mark and UL approved
  • Rugged Lexan head and body construction resists breakage
  • Patented design

Check Resistance on Single and Multiple Rods or Grids

The

AEMC 3711 Clamp-on Ground Resistance Tester

measures ground rod and small grid resistance in any environment without the use of auxiliary ground rods.

This Clamp-on Ground Resistance Tester is used on multi-grounded systems without disconnecting the ground under test. Simply clamps around the ground conductor or rod and measures the resistance to ground fast and accurately. By performing measurements on intact ground systems, the user also verifies the quality of the grounding connections and bonds. Resistance and continuity of grounding loops around pads and buildings may also be measured.

This AEMC 3711 Clamp-on Ground Resistance Tester includes a current measurement function. The probe's high sensitivity enables measurement of leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground loops down to 1mA and neutral and phase currents to 30Arms. This feature provides additional information which is vital in distribution ground networks carrying higher levels of noise and harmonics that affect power quality.


Applications

  • Measure electrical ground rod and grid resistance
  • Use on multi-grounded systems without disconnecting the ground rod under test
  • Measure resistance and continuity of grounding loops around pads and buildings
  • Measure leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground systems
  • Conduct field surveys and retrieve and analyze readings at a later time
  • Use on cell towers and telecommunication sites
  • Use on pools, spas and other consumer installations
