This unit is designed to check
the integrity of the ground cables while out in the field.
For your safety, they should always be tested; you should never
assume the integrity of a ground cable. A regular testing program
should be standard. All needed parts are in one convenient
carrying case. It is easy to set up the STB Ground Cable Tester;
and once set up, the condition of an entire grounding jumper
assembly can be quickly confirmed.
This unit comes with a reference chart attached that is
easy to read and understand. There is a digital ammeter so
that the correct test current is easy to apply and a digital
voltmeter to clearly inform the person doing the testing
if the assembly is in acceptable working condition. A grounding
jumper only needs to be measured to the nearest foot. Cables
are tested at their rated continuous current per ASTM F-855.
The STB Ground Cable Tester can be easily converted for testing
grounding elbows and ball socket clamps.
Optional adapters (pictured below) can be purchased to customize
your individual unit.
