THE LOW RESISTANCE OHMMETER appeared just over a century ago, at the dawn of the electrical industry and the development of test instrumentation. A genuine low resistance ohmmeter is designed to measure less than 1Ω. Accordingly, it must have sufficient test current to accurately measure to minute levels. This is a critical differentiation from commonRead More ›

GROUND RESISTANCE TESTING also referred to earth resistance testing finds its roots in the early 1930s. Limited technology was available, so a null balance galvanometer, a decade resistance box and a DC power source combined to make one of the first ground testers. Years later hand-cranked technology, first using a generator, provided the test voltage.Read More ›
