1、DIGITAL EARTH TESTER MEGGERDET62D User Guide MeterCenter www.MeterC (800) 230-6008 NOTE THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. The MEGGER DET62D Digital Earth Tester is a compact portable instrument designed to measure earth electrode resistance quick

2、ly and accurately. Powered by six LR6 battery cells, the instrument is very robust and has a tough case moulded in ABS plastic. The instrument uses the three-terminal method of measurement in which the X terminal is connected to the earth electrode under test, and the C and P terminals are connected

3、 to Current and Potential test spikes. Test frequency is 128 Hz to avoid problems from electrical mains Noise. Test leads and auxiliary electrode test spikes can be supplied as part of an earth testing field accessory kit which is available as an option. SAFETY WARNINGS Warnings and precautions must

4、 be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use. The earth spikes, test leads and their terminations must not be touched if an installation earth-fault can arise, unless adequate precautions are taken. The DET62D must be disconnected while its battery cells ar

5、e changed. Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Special precautions are necessary when live earths may be encountered. Isolation switches and fuses are needed in this situation. When working near high tension systems, rubber gloves and shoes should be worn. RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资

15、trodes by the 3 terminal test technique. The instrument will directly measure the resistance to earth of an earth electrode, in the presence of electrical mains supply noise in the soil, provided it is not excessive. The instrument may also be used equally well for the testing of Continuity of condu

16、ctors; conduit coupling joints etc. MEASURING METHOD - 3 TERMINAL RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT A measured current is passed between the electrode under test X, and the remote Current electrode C. The voltage drop between X, and the remote potential electrode P is measured. The resistance of the electrode

17、under test is then the voltage between X and P, divided by the current flowing between X and C, provided there is no overlap of the resistance areas of the electrodes. The resistance area is where the incremental resistance is still significant, owing to localised current flows. V By Ohms Law: R = I

18、 THE FALL OF POTENTIAL METHOD This is the basic method for measuring the resistance of earth electrode systems. It is most useful on small single or double earth electrode systems. To obtain a reliable measurement with the Fall-of-Potential method the Current spike must be far enough away from the E

19、arth electrode. In general, reliable results may be expected if the distance between the Current spike and the Electrode under test is at least ten times the maximum dimension of the electrode system, e.g. 30 m for a 3 m electrode system. Both possess resistance areas, and if they are positioned too

20、 close together their resistance areas will overlap. The optimum position for the Potential spike will be located between these resistance areas. To locate this point the Potential spike is moved between X and C, and readings are taken at each location. The more readings that are taken, the more acc

21、urate the final resistance reading will be. Test results are plotted, on a curve. The optimum position is the point on the curve where reading variation is minimal. Provided there is reasonable homogeneity of the soil, the distance apart is adequate, and the straight line of the electrodes is mainta

22、ined, the shape of the curve will ideally be as shown. OPERATION INITIAL TEST SET UP AND CONNECTIONS 1. Connect a short lead from the Earth electrode to be tested to the instrument terminal X (E) (The resistance of this lead will be included in the measurement). 2. Insert the Current test spike into

23、 the ground 30 to 50 metres away from the Earth electrode to to be tested. Connect this spike to the instrument terminal C (H). 3. Insert the Potential test spike into the ground midway between the Current test spike and the Earth electrode, and in direct line with them both. Connect this spike to t

24、he instrument terminal P (S). 4. When running the test leads out to each remote electrode, avoid laying the wires too close to each other. ? ? ? ?

26、the earth is measured and not the complete system. When this is done, the circuits and equipment must be de-energised. If however this is not possible, the earth electrode should be duplicated so that when it is disconnected for test purposes, the other one provides the necessary circuit protection.

27、 The following safety precautions are essential when working near high tension systems where any unintentional Live earths may be encountered between the site earth and remote earths established for test purposes. A Live earth is one that carries current from the mains supply, or could do so under f

28、ault conditions. 1.All persons involved must be trained and competent in isolation and safety procedures for the system to be worked on. They must be clearly instructed not to touch the earth electrode; test spikes; test leads, or their terminations if any Live earths may be encountered. It is recom

29、mended that they wear appropriate rubber gloves, rubber soled shoes, and stand on a rubber mat. 2.The P (S) and C (H) terminals should be connected through a double pole isolation switch, the rating of which will cope with the maximum fault voltage and current. The isolation switch must be open whil

30、st any personal contact is made with the remote test spikes,or the connecting leads, e.g. when changing their position. Note: If a fault occurs while a test is being made the instrument may be damaged. Incorporating fuses at the isolation switch, rated at 100 mA, and able to cope with the maximum fa

31、ult voltage will provide some protection for the instrument. TEST PROCEDURE FOR EACH MEASUREMENT Connect the instrument terminals to the respective earth electrode and test spikes. See Initial Test Set Up and Connections. 1. Press the push button. This will begin the test sequence and include the ci

32、rcuit condition, and noise monitoring. The instrument will automatically switch Off after 30s of inactivity. Alternatively, press the Test push again to switch Off. 2. Check the circuit condition warning LEDs. If any adverse conditions are indicated, the cause should be rectified (to prevent a false

33、 reading), before the test continues. Note: If the Current spike resistance is too high for the required measurement range, the instrument will autorange to a range which can tolerate a higher Current spike resistance. This results in a loss of resolution. 3. If conditions for the test are satisfact

34、ory, the display will stabilise, and the reading given may be accepted. 4. Several individual readings are taken, in order to locate the Potential spike in its optimum position, relative to the Current spike and the Electrode under test. Measurements are plotted and the Plateau region of the curve i

35、s identified to confirm the real resistance value. 5. Calculate the average of ALL measurements which lie on the horizontal plateau of the curve. 6. If the maximum deviation from the average of all measurements is better than 5%, then their average may be taken as the resistance to earth of the elec

36、trode under test. Note: To determine X (E) terminal lead resistance, firmly connect the lead to the X (E) terminal, and its free end to the P (S) terminal. Firmly connect terminals P (S) and C (H) together with a short length of lead. Press the push button, and note the reading of the instrument. Th

37、is is the resistance value of X (E) terminal lead ONLY. If desired, subtract this value from the overall measured resistance. CONTINUITY TESTING The instrument will measure metallic resistances of low inductance or capacitance. The circuit under test MUST be switched off, de-energised and isolated b

38、efore the test is made. Firmly connect terminals P and C together with a short length of lead, and connect a short test lead from these terminals and another from X terminal. Connect these two test leads across the test points, press the push button, and note the instrument reading. Due to the inher

39、ent high accuracy of the instrument, and the low resistance to be measured, contact resistance between the test lead clips and the conduit could be a factor in the measured value. Contact and test lead resistance should therefore be kept as low as possible. BATTERY INSTALLATION It is advisable that

40、new battery cells are available before embarking on a test sequence, as it can be extremely inconvenient if the battery life expires while a field test is in progress. Caution: Whenever battery cells are being fitted or replaced, there should be no connections to the instrument terminals. The cover

41、to the battery compartment lifts off the front of the instrument, and is held in position by two captive screws in the base of the instrument. To fit or replace battery cells, loosen the two captive screws, and lift away the cover. Fit new cells as indicated on the battery compartment moulding. Repl

42、ace the cover and tighten the securing screws. To avoid damage by leaking electrolyte, do not leave cells fitted in an instrument which will remain unused for extended periods of time.
