The Ground Resistance Tester Model 6417 measures ground rod and grid resistance and impedance without the use of auxiliary rods. Clamp-on ground resistance testers can be used in multi-grounded systems without disconnecting or de-energizing the ground system under test.
The Model 6417 simply clamps around the grounding electrode or conductor and measures the resistance to ground. 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.
Allows for stakeless ground loop testing and non-intrusive leakage current measurement, making it ideal for system troubleshooting in commercial, industrial, and utility applications. It includes an alarm function with adjustable set point and buzzer for field checks of volts, amps and ohms. The DataView software included enables Bluetooth communication as well as the ability to generate reports.
Features
- High sensitivity measurement function of leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground loops from 0.2mA to 40A
- Resistance measurement from 0.01 to 1500Ω
- Contact voltage indication warns of unsafe conditions
