Megger DET3TC earth tester and iclamp combo kit
The new ground testing instrument family from Megger offers a unique solution to your ground rod testing needs. The complete kit of instrument, test leads, stakes and batteries are delivered in a tough polypropylene carry case - everything you need to start testing in one kit.
The ground tester is rated to IP54 making it truly an outdoor instrument. The ground tester has been designed to be easy to use - a large selector switch makes selection of 2 and 3 pole test easy with gloved hands - and the design
makes the fitting of shorting links to perform 2 pole tests a thing of the past. A large, clear, easy to read Analog display and thumb sized test button again makes the instrument particularly suited to the outdoor conditions of
In addition to this ease of use, the ground tester also allows you to check the connection and condition of the P and C spike, indicating the status on the instrument. The instrument also includes a voltmeter to allow you to measure the ground voltage. The ground tester can measure resistance from 0.01 through to 2000 and earth voltages up to 100 V. To allow testing in noisy environments the instrument is capable of rejecting noise of up to 40 V peak to peak.
The Megger ground testers are designed to meet stringent safety standards and are rated CAT IV 100 V.
Ground testing using the ART method is more convenient and reduces testing time. Model DET3TC includes the additional testing capability called the ART (Attached Rod Technique) method. A nagging problem with traditional ground testing has been the requirement to disconnect the utility connection. Using the ART method you can reliably measure a grounding electrode while still connected and prove it!
The Megger ICLAMP Current Measuring Clamp for ART testing capability is optional and can only be used with the Megger DET3TC Digital ART Three-Pole Earth Testing Kit. The ICLAMP gives the Megger DET3TC the additional testing capability termed ART or Attached Rod Technique. Ground resistance can be profiled and graphed by moving the potential probe against the position of the current probe, and a Fall of Potential graph, Slope Method mathematical proof, or any of the other proven methods utilized to demonstrate the accuracy of the test.
