Safety ERP-1 adapter is designed to adapt MRU meters (manufactured by Sonel SA) for the measure- ments of earth resistance of various objects e.g. power pillars, using flexible clamps (Rogowski coil). The adapter is designed to work with earth resistance meters that provide the user with a choice of performing the measurement using 3-wire method with measurement clamps.
