GAOTek Earth Resistance Tester with 2, 3

and 4-Pole Measurement Testing

GAO-ERT-101

GAOTek Earth Resistance Tester with 2, 3 and 4-

Pole Measurement Testing is specially designed
and manufactured for the measurement of earth
resistance, soil resistivity, earth voltage, and AC
voltage. Adopting the latest digital and micro-
processing technology, specifically, 4-pole, 3-pole
and simple 2-pole measurement method for earth
resistance measurement, importing FFT and AFC
technology.

The unique functions of anti-interference capability, ability to adapt to the environment and
consistency of repeat testing makes it capable of high precision, high stable and reliable for
prolonged measurement. It is widely used in electric power, telecommunications,
meteorology, oil field, construction, lightning protection, industrial electrical equipment and
other earth resistance, soil resistivity, earth voltage, AC voltage measurement.
