Measuring Method and Functional Principle
Earthing resistance is measured with the GEOHM
ammeter-voltmeter test method.
The battery powered, potential-free constant power source (quartz-
controlled square-wave generator) delivers constant current of up to
10 mA at a frequency of 128 Hz to the measuring ranges.
In the interest of safety, maximum test voltage at the terminals is limited to
50 V with reference to earth.
Constant test current travels via terminal E through the earth electrode
whose resistance R
is to be measured, through the auxiliary resistor R
E
and finally to terminal H.
The voltage drop which occurs due to earthing resistance R
is measured at terminals ES or E and S, is first fed first to an electronic filter
which is synchronous to the generator, and then to a synchronously
controlled rectifier in order to eliminate influences caused by polarization
voltages and stray alternating currents which are present in the soil to the
greatest possible extent.
The earthing resistance to be measured is proportional to the voltage
drop. It is displayed directly at the LCD in digital format.
Crucial operating conditions are continuously monitored for possible
errors. The presence of interference voltage and values in excess of allow-
able auxiliary earth conductor resistance at the external current circuit are
signaled by means of LEDs. Probe resistance at the voltage circuit is mea-
sured each time a measurement is started. If the allowable value is
exceeded, the appropriate LED lights up.
Excessively low battery voltage and over-ranging are indicated at the LCD.
