AEMC Introduces Portable Hand-Held Ground Resistance Testers

Aug. 18, 2020
AEMC is introducing new portable ground resistance testers for testing commercial, residential and light industrial grounding systems.

AEMC is introducing new portable ground resistance testers that are ideal for testing commercial, residential and light industrial grounding systems.

The design simplifies the process and provides reliable results eliminating confusion in setting it up correctly. A simple one button connect-press-read operation is all that is needed.

The Model 6424 can store and calculating the measurements from the simplified 62% test method and displaying the average and % deviation which is important in determining correct spacing for the test.

The Digital Ground Resistance Tester Model 6424 performs 2-pole and 3-pole ground resistance measurement. This direct reading tester is auto-ranging, so it automatically seeks out the optimum measurement range. The Model 6424 is easy to use - simply connect the leads, press to measure, and read. The large LCD also indicates low battery status, overrange and lead reversals.

The Model 6424 comes with 3 safety color coded terminals to aid in easy hookup, measure voltage up to 600V AC/DC and AC current up to 60A with the optional current probe Model MN72.

The Model 6424 is powered by 6 x AA rechargeable NIMH batteries. The Ground Resistance Tester Model 6424 is also available in complete Kits (150ft and 300ft).

Applications:

  • Ground rod and small ground grid resistance measurement
  • Stray and hazardous voltage detection
  • Leakage current detection
  • Bond and continuity resistance checking
