Chauvin Arnoux Pylon Tower Earth Tester CA6472/CA6474

Chauvin Arnoux Pylon Tower CA6472 Earth and Resistivity Tester, paired with the CA6474 adapter, provides precise testing of earthing systems. Specifically, it specializes in pylon earth measurements. This kit supports various measurement methods such as 3-pole, 4-pole, and selective earth resistance testing. In addition, it performs loop resistance, soil resistivity, earth coupling, ground potential, and continuity tests.

Key Features

• It measures earth resistance from 0.001 Ω to 100 kΩ with excellent resolution.

• Furthermore, it analyzes frequency behavior between 41 Hz and 5,078 Hz, offering detailed insights.

• You can choose between automatic mode for fast testing or expert mode for customized parameters.

• Additionally, the device includes color-coded inputs and a backlit display, which simplifies operation and indicates connection errors.

• Also, it stores up to 512 measurement results and supports USB and optical communication.

• Moreover, the tester boasts a portable, rugged design with IP67 and IP53   protection ratings and complies with IEC 61010 CAT IV 50 V safety standards.

Advanced Pylon Testing

By using the CA6474 adapter, the tester expands its capability. It measures earth impedance on pylons without the need to disconnect cables. Specifically, it uses four flexible sensors around the pylon footings and supports frequency scanning up to 5 kHz. Consequently, technicians can perform safe, efficient, and precise tests.
