The 1623-2 and 1625-2 boast advanced features and accessories that speed the verification of a reliable connection to earth for grounded electrical systems. This helps solve power quality problems and lower the risk of shock to users.

The new testers ensure that in the event of a lightning strike or utility over-voltage, current will find a safe path to earth. They perform all four types of earth grounding measurements:

  • -3 and 4-pole fall-of-potential
  • 4-pole soil resistivity
  • selective testing
  • stakeless testing

The testers also feature USB connectivity that can store up to 1500 records with time stamp and fast downloading of measurements, eliminating the need to manually transfer data.

New accessories include heavy-duty stakes that can be hammered into hard ground, colour-coded wires to reduce errors and a rugged carrying case speed.

The testers can be purchased as standalone testers or in kits that include test leads, clamps, batteries, EG stakes, cable reels and carrying case.
