Ground measurement on towers with ground cable
High-voltage lines are usually equipped with a ground cable
to allow lightning to discharge to ground via the tower. As all
the towers are all connected to this conductor, all the tower's
resistances are in parallel. This means it is impossible to
measure tower resistance using traditional 3-Point methods
unless the ground cable is disconnected, which is a
dangerous and time-consuming operation.
Automatic recognition and
display of input connections
to match test
The connections are displayed
and flash if incorrect or absent
for the test selected.
Ground resistance measurement using 2 Clamps
For systems with parallel ground connections, the Model 6472 is
capable of accurately measuring a ground resistance using clamps
only. This method involves placing 2 clamps around the ground
conductor to be tested and connecting them each to the instrument.
One clamp injects a known signal (32V/1367Hz) while the other
clamp measures the current circulating in the loop. This method
saves considerable time when ground testing because it is no longer
necessary to set up auxiliary rods or to disconnect the ground
connector.
