EXTECH INSTRUMENTS ANNOUNCES

NEW CLAMP-ON GROUND RESISTANCE TESTER

 

Enables Non-Contact Measurements of Ground Conductors Without Need for Auxiliary Ground Spikes

 

Extech Instruments, a major supplier of test and measurement equipment for the industrial marketplace, announces its new clamp-on ground resistance tester, Model 382357. Ideal for grounding systems in sub-stations, factories and office buildings, it can also be used to verify the resistance of cellular and communication tower ground grids, check utility transmission systems and grounding rods, and maintenance on electric transportation systems.

 

Extech’s 382357 simplifies ground resistance measurements on multiple point ground systems and can measure down to 0.025 ohms with a 0.002[jo1]  ohm maximum resolution. It features a true RMS AC Leakage current range of 0.2 mA to 30A, with a 0.001mA maximum resolution. It also has a programmable datalogger with 116 data points and a programmable hi/low alarm.

 

The 382357 has a 0.9 inch jaw size to accommodate large ground rods and verification resistors to confirm the accuracy of the meter. It automatically self calibrates when turned on and features electrical noise detection to prevent inaccurate readings. It also features a data hold and continuity beeper, as well as a 9999 count high contrast LCD display.

 

Extech’s new 382357 comes complete with a 9V battery, a resistance check plate and a carrying case.
