Ground resistance measurement

The TES 1700 ground resistance tester performs triode measurement for electrical safety checks. Electricians and maintenance technicians use it to verify earthing systems on site. The handheld instrument arrives new in a single retail box. Red casing identifies the unit in a tool bag.

Suited for triode method only

Professionals who need the triode technique for ground resistance will find this tester fit for purpose. Buyers who require four-pole measurement or clamp-on operation should look at other instruments. The three-year parts and one-year labour coverage supports regular field use.

Triode measurement method

The defining specification is the triode measurement capability built into the 1700 model. This method determines whether the tester matches the earthing verification procedure specified for the job. No other measurement modes are included.

Questions about this item

Will the test leads or probes on the TES 1700 need periodic replacement after heavy field use?

The TES 1700 includes test leads and auxiliary earth spikes that can wear with repeated insertion into soil; inspect them before each job and replace any damaged cables or corroded spikes to maintain accurate triode measurements.

What limits continuous operation of the TES 1700 during a long survey?

Battery capacity is the first limit on the TES 1700 during extended use; the tester draws power for each measurement cycle, so carry spare cells to avoid interruption when testing multiple ground rods in one session.

Does the TES 1700 generate noticeable heat or fan noise when left on all day?

The TES 1700 has no internal fan and its low-power measurement circuit produces negligible heat, so it runs silently and stays cool to the touch even during continuous triode testing throughout a full workday.
