Split-core Ground Resistance Detector

The ETCR 2800KB is a split-core detector built for electricians who need to monitor grounding systems without interrupting service. It measures earth resistance on live installations and carries Exia BT3Ga explosion-proof certification CE18.2332X for hazardous-area use. Rain and dust proof construction allows permanent outdoor deployment.

Measurement range 0.010 to 100 ohm

The single specification that decides fit is the 0.010~100O measurement span, which covers low-resistance bonding checks through to general grounding verification. No auxiliary electrodes are required and the grounding down lead stays connected during tests. Network connectivity enables real-time detection and remote monitoring of the grounding circuit.

Sustained outdoor operation

Under continuous load the detector maintains its stated accuracy while exposed to weather, thanks to the sealed split-core housing and certified explosion-proof rating. It is not suited for buyers who need an integrated display for standalone readings without a network backend, nor for applications requiring a measurement range beyond 100 ohm. Batteries are not supplied and must be sourced locally.

Questions about this item

What does the 0.010 to 100 ohm measurement range mean when the detector is clamped on a live grounding system?

It lets you read the true earth resistance of the installed grounding down-lead without disconnecting it or driving auxiliary electrodes.

How does the split-core interface limit what can be measured in practice?

The jaws must fully close around a single conductor, so the maximum cable or bus-bar diameter that fits the aperture sets the practical upper limit.

What physical clearance is needed to mount the detector for permanent outdoor monitoring?

The unit is rain- and dust-proof for outdoor installation, but you must allow enough space for the hinged jaws to open and clamp onto the down-lead.
