TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION S:
1. Instrument suitable to measure Electrode earth
resistance individually even when number of
electrode, are connected in parallel, as in substation.
2. Instrument readings are immune from interference of
High Voltage (>than 11.kv) 50 Hz supply.
3. Instrument is portable and battery operated type.
4. Range of measurement: 0-10 Ohms and 0-100 Ohms.
Accuracy + or - 1% FSD
5. Testing method : Three & Four Pin null balancing,
Readings by Digital Dial.
INSTRUMENT OPERATION:
AERMI instrument is AC resistivity meter. This is portable and works on
DC batteries.
Rechargable type 10 AHr rating maintenance free battery (6 volts) is
located inside of instrument accessible from bottom end on removing
bottom plate.
The DC power is converted to AC by convertor to 100 Vac for testing.
This is applied through P1 and P4 terminals. This induces AC current in
the Ground connected by P1 - P4 probes. Intermediate probes: P2 / P3
probes connected in between P1 - P4 line measure the potential induced
by the current of P1 - P4 potential in the test ground. Same current also
flows through the internal calibrated R-OHM Pot (0-10.00). Internal
Electronic circuit measures the potential across the R-OHM pot and
P2 - P3 probes, subtracts it and the difference is displayed on dial The
value of Resistance between P2 - P3 is accurately found by adjusting
R-Ohm pot till get 0-balance condition in instrument .
