DET14C and DET24C
Clamp-on Ground Resistance Testers
DESCRIPTION
The DET14C and DET24C are advanced clamp-on ground
resistance testers that set new standards in terms of
access, performance, features, simplicity of operation and
safety. The DET14C and 24C are used to measure earth/
ground resistance in multiple loop installations without
disconnecting the ground.
Designed with flat core ends, these units prevent dirt
build-up, ensuring measurement integrity and improved
reliability over products with interlocking teeth. Other
enhancements include safety to CATIV 600V, a built-in
filter function for electrically noisy environments, time and
date stamped stored test results and ultra long battery life.
Megger has taken what is now a standard test method and
significantly improved its field applicability.
The DET14C and DET24C are designed to quickly measure
ground electrode resistance in applications where this type
of test method can be used and/or verify the integrity of
ground connections. The goal of ground resistance testing
is to ensure that the resistance ground electrode system is
low enough to prevent or limit voltage rises caused by fault
current, electrical surges, lightning strikes, etc.
Clamp-on ground testers work in applications where
there is a loop resistance to measure with ground paths
in the system (the more ground paths, the closer to the
actual resistance). A utility pole ground system is a classic
example of this type of application.
