AEMC, Ground Resistance, Rent Electrical Test Equipment

Clamp-on ground resistance testers can be used in multi-grounded systems without disconnecting or de-energizing the ground system under test. The AEMC 6416 Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester 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.

Proper grounding provides many varied benefits to both people and facilities. It lessens the chance of injury due to faulty installation, reduces the likelihood of damage from lightning strikes and induced voltages, improves the performance of computer, communication and other sensitive equipment and protects against static electricity from friction. Over time, ground systems can degrade or become ineffective.

Ground Resistance, Megger

The Megger Battery Ground-Fault Locator (BGL) allows tracking and locating of ground faults on live or dead battery systems. Its locating ability is only limited by the accessibility of the battery cable.

The instrument can make measurements in the presence of dc current (up to 20 amperes) and ac ripple (charging current up to 0.5 ampere).

Megger DET Ground Testers for Ground Rod, Soil Resistivity Diagnostics

To check for the efficiency of electrical ground connections, technicians measure the ground resistance. Ideally, an electrical ground that has good contact with the Earth should have low resistance. The resistance of the ground connection may increase due to dry soil, corroded terminals or an uprooted stake. When this happens, the monitoring circuits may malfunction and not be able to protect the electrical system in case of a fault. There is also a high risk of personnel getting electrocuted when an insulator opens. It is a good idea to regularly measure the resistance of the electrical ground to ensure continuous operation of the electrical facility.
