Description

The Rod-L M25 is a 25 amp rated Ground Continuity Test Set. It allows testing of the ground system of a device under test to the rated test current. This insures that the ground and bond system will protect the operator during a catastrophic failure. A ground bond test applies a higher ac current to the ground connection. This test simulates the fault which may occur within a product by applying 25 A or higher at 60 Hz to the mains ground connection and any exposed metal on the product. A ground bond test checks the integrity of the connection and its ability to sustain high current. Most standards require that the resistance from power line ground to the conductive surface on the product does not exceed 0.1.

Features
