  • Page 3: Warning

    WARNING * Before measuring, note that the metal objects or the conductors that connect with the electric equipment are dangerous, as well as the earth system. So when you test the electric equipment, you must especially pay attention to safety. * The warning letter that is in the back of your instrument reminds you of the values that must not be exceeded, the measurement ranges, and briefly, the operation of the clamp.
  • Page 4: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Modern industrial electronic equipment is in quick development. A good Earth ground is becoming an efficient system to prevent from interference and thunderbolt. A safe and quick earth tester is most needed. The Earth resistance clamp is a breakthrough from traditional testers. Neither the supplementary earth leads nor the break earth equipment is necessary.

  • Page 21: Application Field

    APPLICATION FIELD EARTH RESISTANCE CLAMP is designed for testing earth resistance of any loop system, for example not only earth resistance of electric power transportation conductors and communication circuitry, but also earth resistance of electric equipment and lightning arresters can be tested. When there is an interference current in the grounding loop, the accuracy of resistance measurement is affected, the interference current can be tested by the earth resistance clamp.
  • Page 22 一、 TESTING EARTH RESISTANCE OF ELECTRIC POWER 1.TESTING EARTH RESISTANCE OF DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITRY Usually most electrodes of neutral wire are connected in parallel for three-phase, four-wire systems. The resistance is very low, so you only hook the clamp around earth conductor to be measured to test the distribution circuitry.

  • Page 24 四、APPLICATION OF FARADAY-CAGE PROTECT SYSTEM Use FARADAY-CAGE to avoid instrument and equipment static interference, so it is very important that we can control earth resistance. If the user wants to test the earth resistance value of each electrode, it is not necessary to set the supplementary electrode, the user can test referring to the follow diagram.

  • Page 26 EARTH RESISTANCE CLAMP 七、APPLICATION OF GAS STATION For gas stations it is necessary to test earth resistance to prevent static electricity. Apply earth electrode of oil trough to the supplementary electrode to test earth resistance of gas station. The tested result sum of earth resistance of the gas station and earth resistance of oil trough in series is noticeable.
