3-Pole Selective Earth Resistance Measurement with Current Clamp
A
The R
3-pole Selective Earth Resistance Measurement with Current Clamp procedure is
A
useful for the resistance measurement of different parallel sections of an earth/ground
system.
Select 3 POLE . See Figure 6.

Connect test leads.
Connect the supplied test lead (1.5 m) to terminal E/C1 and its other end to the
ground system to be measured. Place two ground stakes in earth/dirt. Minimum
distance between earth electrode (E/C1), probe (S/P2) and auxiliary earth (H/C2)
should be at least 20 m.
Connect stakes with 25 m and 50 m wires to H/C2 and S/P2 as shown.
Connect current clamp with adapter cable as shown.
