The Megger DET family of test instruments offers a unique solution to the
measurement of earth or ground electrode (rod) resistance and soil
resistivity. The family has three digital variants, which support 2, 3 and 4
point (DET4TD only) testing, and one analogue version that makes
provision for 2 and 3 point measurements.
The DET3TC can use an optional current clamp (ICLAMP) to measure
electrode (rod) resistance without disconnection, leaving the installation
earthing system intact (Attached Rod Technique, ART). The DET3TC in
conjunction with the current clamp can also measure conductor current.
The DET variants have the following features:
