3711 Clamp-On Ground Resistance Testers

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester Models 3711 and 3731, designed for measuring ground rod and grid resistance without auxiliary ground rods. These models are suitable for use in environments with high electrical noise, such as around transmission towers and substations.
Key Features:
  • Measures ground resistance from 0.1Ω to 1200Ω with a resolution of 0.01Ω.
  • Fast settling time of approximately one second.
  • High immunity to electrical noise.
  • Extended battery life, capable of over 1000 tests with auto-off feature.
  • Rugged construction for outdoor use, with smooth jaw surfaces for easy cleaning.
  • Direct reading of ground resistance, continuity, and ground loop resistance.
  • Measures ground leakage or phase current from 1mA to 30Arms.
  • Large jaw design accommodates cables up to 1000kcmil.
  • Model 3731 includes an alarm function and memory for storing 99 measurements.
  • Meets EN 61010, Cat. III standards, CE Marked, and UL approved.
Applications:
  • Measurement of electrical ground rod and grid resistance.
  • Use on multi-grounded systems without disconnecting the ground rod.
  • Measurement of resistance and continuity of grounding loops around buildings.
  • Measurement of leakage current in ground systems.
  • Field surveys and data retrieval for later analysis.
  • Use in telecommunication sites, pools, spas, and other consumer installations.
Construction: The testers are built with Lexan® for durability, featuring a double-walled shell for enhanced reliability. The jaw design allows for accurate measurements without noise interference, and the ergonomic body design supports one-handed operation.
Specifications:
  • Ground resistance measurement range: 0.10 to 1200Ω with varying accuracy based on range.
  • Current measurement range: 1mA to 30Arms with auto-ranging capability.
  • Power source: 9V Alkaline battery, with a typical life of 8 hours or 1000 measurements.
  • Operating temperature: 14° to 131°F (-10° to 55°C).
  • Safety rating: EN 61010-2-032 (Class 2) with double insulation.
Additional Information: The document includes ordering information, technical assistance contact details, and mentions the U.S. Patent No. 362,639.
