FAQs of Earth Tester:

Q: How does the Earth Tester measure earth resistance and soil resistivity?

A: The Earth Tester utilizes either the three-terminal or four-terminal (Wenner Method) configuration, where test rods are inserted into the ground and connected using supplied wires. The analog meter indicates earth resistance directly on its mirrored scale for easy and accurate readings.

Q: What is the maximum earth resistance and insulation resistance this tester can measure?

A: This device can measure earth resistance up to 1000 Ohms and insulation resistance up to 20 Mega Ohms, covering the requirements for most electrical installations and substation applications.

Q: When is it recommended to use this Earth Tester?

A: It is advisable to use this Earth Tester during the installation, inspection, and maintenance of electrical systems, substations, and lightning arrestors to ensure proper grounding and effective protection against electrical faults.

Q: Where can this tester be effectively utilized?

A: This Earth Tester is suitable for use in field and industrial locations across India, such as substations, building sites, and anywhere earth resistance or soil resistivity assessment is required.

Q: What safety standards does the Earth Tester comply with?

A: The tester meets the IS 9223 safety standards, ensuring compliance with national guidelines for reliability and safe operation during earth resistance measurements.

Q: What benefits does the analog mirrored scale provide over digital displays?

A: The mirrored scale minimizes parallax error and enables users to obtain precise direct readings easily, which is particularly beneficial in challenging, outdoor environments.
