    Product Introduction

    EM3040B Earth Resistance/Soil Resistivity Tester, also known as the Soil Resistivity Tester, is meticulously designed and manufactured for on-site measurements of earth resistance, earth voltage, and soil resistivity. It utilizes digital and microprocessor technology, allowing precise 4-wire, 3-wire, or 2-wire earth resistance measurements. The instrument features an auxiliary grounding stake alarm function, displaying the resistance of the auxiliary grounding stake during testing. An indicator light indicates whether the auxiliary grounding stake is properly grounded, preventing errors caused by excessive grounding resistance. When measuring earth voltage, an alarm sounds when the voltage exceeds 36V, protecting the operator.
    EM3040B Ground Resistance/Soil Resistivity Tester consists of a master and test leads. It features an automatic power-off function, automatic shifting across the entire measuring range, strong anti-interference capabilities, and simplified operation. It is widely used for earth resistance measurement in power, telecommunications, meteorology, oil fields, construction, lightning protection, and industrial electrical equipment.
    ETCRMETER is a high-end brand of ETCR. All products are manufactured by ETCR, which also provides technical support and after-sales service.
