Then use the formula: p=2++a+Rg (0m) Il Measurement method Stick the four Auxiliary Earth Spikes into the ground deeply. They should be aligned at an interval of 1- 30m(a). The depth should be 5% or less ofthe interval between the spikes. Note) ‘The supplied Test Leads can be used for the distance between the spikes up to 20m. Earth Resistance Ili Principle of Earth Resistance Measurement This instrument makes earth resistance measurements with fal-of-potential method, which is a method to obiain earth resistance value "Rx" by applying AC constant current" between the measurement object, “E" (earth electrode) and "H(C)" (current electrode), and finding autthe potantal difference "V" betweon "=" (earth electrode) and "S(P)" (potential electrode), Hi Simplified Measurement (2-Wire) 2.Wire Earth Resistance Measurement Ill Precise Measurement (4-Wire) hip kewltd.cojplensupportimame_ 04 himidmame00t ‘Connection for Earth Resistivity Measurement & Rx(Q)=Vil ise Measurement (3-Wire) Earthed Electrode Auxiliary ‘under Test eath spies 3-Wire Earth Resistance Measurement 12soavans Measuring Tip & Glossary - KYORITSU Earhed Electrode Auxany uncer vest ‘eat spines 4-Wire Earth Resistance Measurement ‘Copytight(c)2008 KYORITSU ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS WORKS, LTD. hip kewltd.cojplensupportimame_ 04 himidmame00t ‘Stemap | Contact Us | Terms of Use| Privacy Poley 22
