AEMC Instruments 6416 Description:
Eliminates the need to disconnect parallel ground rods and find suitable locations for placing auxiliary ground stakes, this tester employs stakeless testing method to save time and enable users such as industrial and utility electricians, field service electricians, and contractors. This method allows them to perform earth-ground loop tests in locations where it is impossible to use other techniques, including inside buildings or power pylons.
Features
- High sensitivity measurement function of leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground loops from 0.2 mA to 40 A
- Resistance measurement from 0.01 to 1500 ?
- Contact voltage indication warns of unsafe conditions
- Selectable test frequency improves accuracy in inductive environments
- Noise icon and buzzer alert user to presence of dangerous voltage and current levels
- Multi-function bright yellow organic display (OLED)
- Data storage function (? and/or A) with time-stamping allows to store up to 2000 measurements
- View stored measurements on the OLED display
- Alarm function with adjustable set point and buzzer for quick field checks for volts, amps and ohms
- Alarm settings and stored memory information saved during shutdown
- Battery life information at power-up and auto power off function
- Large jaw opening of 1.38" (35 mm)
- Rugged Lexan? head and body construction resists breakage
- Auto Power OFF function
- Designed to EN61010-1, 600V Cat. IV safety standards
Applications
- Ground electrode system resistance
- Bonding/continuity checks
- Cell tower grounding verification
