The Saturn GEO Plus Earth Ground Tester not only enables the measurement of ground resistance using the classic fall of potential test but also using the ‘selective’ and ‘stakeless’ methods. The ‘selective’ test does not require the electrode under test to be disconnected before measurement, unlike other methods. The ‘stakeless’ method is quick and simple and replaces stakes with current transformers (probes) that are clamped around the ground conductor under test. Both techniques make it faster and safer to test.

Earth ground resistance and resistivity should be measured when:

• Installing new ground systems and electrical equipment
• Periodically testing ground and lightning protection rods
• Prior to design of ground protection systems
• Conventional three and four pole earth ground testing
• Innovative Selective and Stakeless techniques for fast and safe measurement without disconnection
• Two pole ac resistance measurement
• One button measurement – press once to measure with simple GO/NOGO indicators
• Large easy to read display
• Rugged housing rated to IP56
• Full range of optional accessories for conventional testing and clamp testing
• 2-Year Warranty

SATURN GEO plus is a versatile, easy to handle and very robust earth/ground-tester, covering all traditional earth measurements up to the innovative method of stakeless earth testing without the use of earth stakes. It is designed for electricians and for people who plan, erect or check complex earthing or lightning protection systems and for day-to-day usage in rough environments. The very large display ensures optimum readability even under dark conditions or from big distances. Due to the single button user interface, professional and complex earth measurements, like the selective or the stakeless earth measurement using current transformers, become an easy task. Only one big, heavy duty button to ensure ease of use:

Uncertainties in the measurement values or wrong connections are immediately recognized by the SATURN GEO plus and a warning message will prompt the user.

Applications:

• Earth resistance measurements of various installations (high voltage pylons, buildings, cell phone substations, RF transmitters, pipelines, tanks, industry etc)
• Inspection and planning of lightning protection systems, meshed and complex earth systems, equi-potential bus bar systems, ...

SATURN GEO plus is suited for all earth/ground measurements including IEC 1024, ENV 61024, DIN VDE 0185, ÖVE-E 49 .This instrument has been manufactured to comply with quality assurance system DIN ISO 9001. The compliance with the actual EMC-regulations is documented by the attached CE-sign.
