3-Pole/4-Pole Measurement Of Earthing Resistance - Fluke 1625-2 User Manual

3-Pole/4-Pole Measurement of Earthing Resistance

This measuring function measures earthing and earth dissipation resistances of single
earth electrodes, foundation earth electrodes and other earthing systems by using two
earth spikes. See Figure 4.

1. Turn central rotary switch to position "R
The instrument is to be wired according to picture and notices given on the display.
A flashing of the sockets symbols  or , points to an incorrect or
incomplete connection of the measuring lead.
2. Press "START TEST" button.
Now a fully automated test sequence of all relevant parameters like auxiliary earth
electrode and probe and earth electrode resistance is implemented and finished with
the display of the result R
3. Read out measured value R
