Interface of testing wires VI．Measuring Principle 1. Ground voltage measurement uses average rectification. 2. The grounding resistance measurement adopts the rated current change pole method, that is, the alternating current rated current I flowing between the measuring object E ground electrode and the H current electrode, to obtain the potential difference V of the E ground electrode and S voltage electrode, and according to the formula R=V/ I Calculate the ground resistance value R. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, a four-wire method was designed to increase the FR auxiliary ground. During actual testing, FR and E were clamped at the same point of the grounding body. The four-wire test can eliminate the influence of the contact resistance (usually dirt or rust) on the measured grounding body, auxiliary grounding rod, test clip, and the input interface of the instrument to the measurement, and can eliminate the influence of the wire resistance on the measurement, more precision. 3．It’s operating error(B) is an error obtained within the rated operating conditions, and calculated with the intrinsic error(A) and the error(E) due to variations.

E2：Variation due to power supply voltage E3：Variation due to temperature change E4：Variation due to interference voltage change E5：Variation due to contact electrode resistance 4. The soil resistivity (ρ) is measured using the 4-pole method (Winner method): the alternating current I flows between the E ground electrode and the H current electrode, and the potential difference V between the S voltage electrode and the FR auxiliary ground electrode is calculated. The potential difference V is divided by the alternating current I obtains the grounding resistance value R, the electrode spacing distance is a(m), and the soil resistivity value is obtained according to the formula ρ=2πaR(Ωm), and the distance between the HS pitch and the S-FR is equal (both a), that is Wenner method. For ease of calculation, please make the electrode spacing a much larger than the buried depth h, generally should meet a> 20h, see the figure below. VII. Operation Methods 1．Switch On/Off Turn the function key to the corresponding test position and turn it on. Turn the function key to the OFF position to turn off the instrument. After power on, there is "APO" displayed in the lower corner. If it is not operated, it will be automatically turned off after 15 minutes. 2．Battery Voltage Check After switch on, if LCD displays low battery voltage icon “ “ ，which indicates that battery voltage is low, and please replace the battery in time.

One auxiliary grounding rod is required for the ground voltage test. As long as the instrument is connected to the ground through the test wire and the auxiliary grounding rod, the other test wires of the instrument interface cannot be connected to the L and N wires of the commercial power supply. Otherwise, the leakage may occur, and the circuit breaker may start up and be dangerous. Ground voltage test cannot exceed 600V. Grounding voltage: when the ground fault of the electrical equipment occurs, the potential difference between the grounding device casing, the grounding wire, the grounding body and the zero potential point, the grounding voltage is the reference point of the ground, the potential difference from the earth, and the earth is zero potential point. An auxiliary grounding rod is required for the ground voltage test. Note the difference from the commercial AC voltage test. See the following figure: After the meter, auxiliary grounding rod, and test line are all connected, after turning on the power, turn the function selection key to U. The LCD shows the test result. 4．Wire Resistance Verification In order to improve precision and stability of field measurement of earth ground resistance, avoid error due to wire resistance change due to prolonged usage of testing wires; avoid error due to testing wire that is failed to be fully inserted into tester interface or by poor contact; avoid error due to users’ replacing or lengthening testing wires and etc., wire resistance verification is specially designed, which is more accurate on low value resistance measurement. As shown in the figure below, press the function button R button to switch to the corresponding ground resistance measurement position, press button to start verification. During verification, During the calibration, the LED indicator flashes. The LCD counts down. After the calibration is

checked line resistance value is automatically deducted from this start-up ground resistance measurement. Shutdown does not save the calibration line resistance. The next time you turn on the power, you need to verify again.. 5．Grounding Resistance Precision Measurement When testing the grounding resistance, first confirm the grounding voltage of the grounding wire, that is, the voltages of H and E or S and FR must be less than 20V. If the grounding voltage is more than 5V, the measured value of the grounding resistance may be inaccurate. At this time, the measured grounding device should be powered off first, so that the grounding voltage is reduced and then the grounding resistance test is performed. Four-wire test: The four-wire test eliminates the influence of the contact resistance (usually dirt or rust) on the measured grounding body, auxiliary grounding bar, test clip, and the input interface of the instrument to the measurement, eliminating the effect of the wire resistance to the measurement. It is better than the three-line test. See the following figure: Beginning with the measured object, generally spaced 5m ~ 20m, respectively, the S, H auxiliary grounding rod is buried deep into the ground in a straight line, the ground test line (black, green, yellow, red) from the instrument E, FR, S, and H interfaces are initially connected to the ground electrode E under test, the auxiliary voltage electrode S, and the auxiliary current electrode H. The distance between the measured grounding body E and the current pole H should be at least 5 times the buried ground depth (h) of the measured grounding body, or 5 times the buried ground electrode length (d). Measure the total grounding resistance of a complex grounding system. The distance d is the distance of the largest diagonal of the grounding system. During the test, the test leads cannot be intertwined with each other. Otherwise, the test accuracy may be affected.

system, the user can choose a longer test line, and the electrode spacing is greater than 5 times the maximum diagonal length of the tested network. As shown below: R=r1∥r2∥r3∥r4∥r5∥r6∥...∥rn (r1...rn are all independent earth points)

system; R1...rn - are all independent grounding points, and grounding bodies are not connected together under the ground; RH—ground resistance of auxiliary current pole H; RS - ground resistance of auxiliary voltage pole S; n - the number of independent grounding points, the more points, the smaller the R value. 6.Three-wire Test Grounding Resistance Three-wire test: As shown in the figure below, short-circuit the FR and E interfaces of the instrument, that is, the three-wire test, and the instrument operation is the same as the four-wire test. The three-wire test can not eliminate the influence of the wire resistance on the measurement, nor can it eliminate the influence of the change of the contact resistance between the instrument and the test wire and between the test wire and the auxiliary grounding rod, and the oxide layer on the surface of the ground body to be measured needs to be removed. 7．Two-wire easy Test Grounding Resistance

not use the auxiliary grounding rod. It uses the existing grounding electrode with the smallest value of the grounding resistance as the auxiliary grounding electrode, and uses two simple test lines to connect the HS interface and the E-FR interface. ). The auxiliary ground rods H and S may be replaced with metallic ground pipes such as metal water pipes and fire hydrants, common grounding of commercial power systems, or lightning protection grounds of buildings, etc., and the oxide layer of the connection points of the selected metal auxiliary grounding body should be removed during measurement. Floor. Wiring as shown below, the instrument operation with the four-wire test. When using the commercial power system grounding as an auxiliary grounding pole measurement, it must be confirmed that it is the grounding pole of a commercial power system. Otherwise, the circuit breaker may start up and be in danger. Use a simple two-wire method to measure the grounding resistance, and try to select the grounding body with a small re value as the auxiliary grounding electrode so that the meter reading is closer to the true value. When measuring, please select the metal water pipe and metal fire hydrant as the auxiliary grounding electrode. Two-wire easy Test Grounding Resistance its reading on Tester is the

that of commercial earthing object, namely: RE=RX＋re In which: RE is the Tester reading value; RX is the earth ground resistance value of measured earthing object; re is the earth ground resistance value of common earthing object like commercial use power system. Then, the earth ground resistance value of measured earthing object is: RX=RE－re 8．Soil Resistivity Test The soil resistivity ρ is an important factor that determines the grounding resistance of the grounding body. Different types of soil, of course, have different soil resistivities, that is, even the same kind of soil, because of different temperature and moisture content, the soil resistivity will also change significantly. Therefore, in order to have a correct basis in the design of the grounding device, so that the designed grounding device can more meet the actual needs of the work, the soil resistivity must be measured. The soil resistivity was measured by the four-pole method (Winner method). The soil resistivity ρ is calculated according to the formula ρ=2πaR (Ωm), and the unit is Ωm, and: a - electrode spacing R——Soil resistance between S-FR electrodes Four-pole method (Winner method): Connect the test wire as shown below. Pay attention to the space between the auxiliary grounding rods and the depth of burial. H, S, FR, and E auxiliary ground rods are buried in the ground and buried deep into the earth. The ground test lines (red, yellow, green, and black) are connected from the H, S, FR, and E ports of the meter to the H, S, FR, and E auxiliary ground bars under test.
