Description
UNI-T UT521 Digital Earth Resistance Tester
The UNI-T UT521 Earth Resistance Tester is a reliable handheld meter designed for measuring earth resistance and earth voltage in electrical grounding systems. It uses a microcontroller-based design to provide accurate and dependable measurements for professional electrical testing and maintenance.
With support for both three-wire earth resistance testing and simple two-wire measurement, the UT521 is suitable for checking grounding systems used in electrical installations, power systems, communication equipment, lightning protection systems, industrial facilities, and construction applications.
Key Features
- Earth Resistance Testing: Measures grounding resistance across 20Ω, 200Ω, and 2000Ω ranges.
- Earth Voltage Measurement: Measures AC earth voltage up to 200V.
- 2-Wire & 3-Wire Testing: Supports accurate three-wire measurement as well as simpler two-wire testing.
- Clear LCD Display: Features a large backlit LCD for easy viewing in different lighting conditions.
- Data Hold: Holds the current measurement on the display for convenient recording.
- Data Logging: Stores up to 20 measurement results for later reference.
- Auto Power-Off: Automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power.
- Over-Range Indication: Displays “OL” when the measured value exceeds the selected range.
- Battery Check: Provides a convenient way to monitor battery condition.
- Double Insulation: Designed with reinforced insulation protection for safer operation.
- Portable Design: Compact handheld construction with a durable ABS housing and carrying bag.
