The FT6380-50 measures grounding resistance simply by clamping to multiple-grounded ground wires. No auxiliary grounding rod is needed, and there is no need to disconnect the ground wire from the grounding rod. The compact, low-profile sensor can be used to clamp ground wires with ease, and also provide AC current measurement functionality and can measure currents ranging from leakage current on the order of several mA to load currents of up to 60 A.
- Multiple grounding can be easily checked with the clamps.
- Measure multi-grounded systems: Clamp onto the earth cable, where the voltage transducer injects a defined voltage into the multi-grounded system, and the total circuit loop resistance is determined by the defined voltage and measured current. In typical multi-grounded systems, the parallel resistance is negligible, simplifying the calculation to Rx = V/I.
- Clamp at the narrowest point:The dramatically slim 0.79 inch (20mm) jaws let you finish your job easily and efficiently.
- Transfer data via Bluetooth® wireless communication
- Easily transfer measurement data to an Excel® file
- Instantly create reports by a free app (GENNECT Cross)
- Alarm Function: Set the alarm to audibly and visually notify yourself that the resistance or current value exceeds the threshold.
- High Accuracy and Repeatability: Well-designed magnetic shields eliminate the leakage flux between the two cores that often affect measurement accuracy.
- LCD with beautiful back light:
- Large storage capacity (up to 2,000 data)
Measurement principle | Instrument has two cores for voltage injection and current measurement. From the defined voltage and measured current, the total circuit loop resistance is calculated Note: For multiLR6 alkaline battery × 2 grounded systems only. In a multi-grounded system, the larger the number of grounding poles, the more accurate the measured value. |
