About Ground Resistance Testers

Ground resistance testers are devices that are used to measure and test electrical grounding systems. Grounding enables optimum electrical continuity between conducting objects and earth. Effectively grounded equipment is permanently connected to earth through a ground connection with a sufficiently low impedance and sufficient current- carrying capacity that a ground fault current cannot cause dangerous voltage buildups.


Products & Services Related to Ground Resistance Testers
Current Leakage Testers
Current leakage testers measure the amount of current that leaks to ground.
Ground Bond Testers
Ground bond testers are electrical safety test devices that perform electrical compliance tests.
Hipot Testers
Hipot testers are electrical safety test devices that perform a variety of electrical compliance tests.
Megohmmeters
Megohmmeters generate high voltage, low current signals for testing the breakdown strength of electrical insulation. They are called megohmmeters because the insulating resistance of a properly designed product is expressed in mega ohms (MOmega: Ohms ).
