2.4 Measurement Procedure
29
As illustrated below, the instrument is designed to measure
grounding resistance at multiple grounding locations. (*For appli-
cations involving the measurement of grounding resistance at a
single grounding site, use Hioki FT6031-50 Earth Tester or Hioki
FT3151 Analog Earth Tester)
.
If the grounding resistance of the measurement target is repre-
sented by
R
x
and the grounding resistance values of other
grounded locations are represented by
R
1
,
R
2
, …,
R
n
, the resis-
tance value measured by the product is as follows:
If
n
is sufficiently large and each
Ri
value is sufficiently small,
and the second term can be ignored, allowing the value of
R
x
to be measured.
