Megger DET4TC2 Offers

Designed to negate the need for a shorting link when making two-pole measurements, this ground tester also offers labeled auxiliary controls used to select the test frequency (94, 105, 111, and 128 Hz), output voltage (50 or 25 V where local standards apply), and to switch the backlight on or off.

Features

Stakeless testing capability - Allows the operator to use the instrument like a clamp-on tester in applications where the method is viable
Attached Rod Technique capability - Allows fall of potential testing without the need to disconnect the ground rod
Multiple user selectable test frequencies allows the operator to find the most effective frequency for making the measurement
200,000 Ω measurement range provides the ability to measure the resistivity of any type of soil
User selectable test voltage ensures that the units can be used in agricultural environments

Webinar: How Ground Testing Keeps Us Safe with Megger

Ground systems are integral because of the protection and safety it offers to the public and the electrical equipment we use every day. These systems need to be monitored and maintained to ensure their reliability during normal conditions, unexpected faults, and to prevent cascading failures. We teamed up with Megger for this short webinar on Ground Testing, where we cover: • How Ground Testing keeps us safe • Ground Testing theory • Step Potential and Touch Potential • Soil Resistivity – testing for new installations • Electrode & Earth Resistance – testing for maintenance • Attached Rod Technique – testing without disconnecting • Stakeless Electrode Test – benefits of clamps • Testing in electrically noisy environments

Useful tips of the Megger DET14C and DET24C

If you have a Megger DET Series unit, watching this video will provide you with useful tips that you can use in the field! You'll learn what you can and cannot do with these instruments, giving you a good idea of how intuitive your product is. The DET14C & DET24C can induce a test current into the earth systems and measure ground resistance in multi-ground installations without needing to disconnect the ground. As these units are capable of many useful features, they cannot measure the earth's resistivity; there's a difference between resistance and resistivity! To complete a resistivity measurement, you'll need a 4 terminal earth tester like the Megger DET4 series - see 00:40.
