Overview
Specifications
Accessories
The EM4058 earth tester is a digital, microprocessor controlled instrument that allows to measure the earth resistance and ground resistivity (using Wenner´s method), as well as to detect parasitic voltages present in the ground. This instrument is suitable to measure earth systems in power substations, industries, distribution networks, etc., according to IEC 61557-5.

It is also suitable for soil resistivity measurements, in order to optimize the earth systems project. It is a fully automatic and easy-to-operate equipment. Before starting each measurement, the equipment will check that conditions are within appropriate limits and will notify the operator in case any abnormality turns up (too high interference voltage, too much resistance in test spikes, very low test current, etc). Then, it will look for the most suitable range and show measurement results in an alphanumeric display.

In order to conveniently test the earth system, EM4058 allows to perform measurements using the test current which frequency may be operator-selected (270 Hz, 570 Hz, 870 Hz, 1170 Hz or 1470 Hz). On one hand, the lowest frequency will allow to analyze the earth system behavior related to fault currents of industrial frequency, while on the other hand, the measurement performed with the highest frequency will best show the behavior in connection with electrical currents caused by lightning and will offer a very high immunity related to interference voltages that are usually present in soils, specially near substations.

The EM4058 has a Frequency Scan feature that performs an earth resistance measure with all vailable frequencies automatically and calculates, displays and prints the average result besides the individual result of each frequency. Those results are saved on the internal memory.

The instrument has four ranges that are automatically selected, covering measurements from 0.01 Ω up to 20 kΩ, which allows to obtain very accurate measurements for any kind of soils. During ground resistivity measurement, the operator may indicate the distance between spikes in order for the equipment to apply Wenner's formula and to show the resistivity value irectly.

The EM4058 has a built-in memory to store measurements and a built-in printer, besides the USB interface that allows to communicate measured values to a computer or data logger for their later analysis and has a remote interface that allows remote control of it through an Android device. It is a portable, strong and lightweight equipment, suitable to be used out in the field and under severe weather conditions. It is powered by a rechargeable battery and it is supplied with all the necessary accessories for measurements (test spikes, leads, etc) within an auxiliary case that makes it simple to carry.

Remote control by device with Android™

This instrument has Bluetooth® interface and can be controlled remotely via a smartphone / tablet with Android™ running the BlueLogg application.
