Clamp On Earth Tester – FT6380
CAT IV 600V
The FT6380 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.
Key Features:
• Earth resistance measurement for multi-grounded systems
• Measure leak current with absolute certainty with highly sensitive 0.01 mA resolution (at 20.00 mA range)
• Measure load current up to 60.0 A range
• Clamp at the narrowest point
| 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 multi grounded systems only. In a multi-grounded system, the larger the number of grounding poles, the more accurate the measured value. |
| Earthing resistance | 0.20 Ω (0.01 Ω resolution) to 1600 Ω (20 Ω resolution), 10 ranges, Zero suppression: Less than 0.02 Ω, Accuracy: ±1.5 % rdg. ±0.02 Ω |
| AC Current measurement | 20.00 mA (0.01 mA resolution) to 60.0 A (0.1 A resolution), 5 ranges, Zero suppression: Less than 0.05 mA, Accuracy: ±2.0 % rdg. ±0.05 mA (30 Hz to 400 Hz, True RMS), Crest factor 5.0 or less (for the 60 A range, 1.7 or less) |
| Max. allowable input | 100 A AC continuous, AC 200 A for 2 minutes or shorter (at 50/60 Hz, requires derating at frequency) |
| Max. rated voltage to earth | 600 V AC CAT IV |
| Memory function | 2000 data |
| Alarm function | For resistance measurement and current measurement, Beeps when measured value is less than or greater than threshold |
