Do you trust your TPG testing with your life?
It’s critical to ensure that TPGs are adequately low-resistance and properly connected to an intact grounding system to protect personnel relying on them for safety.
The PG1 is a portable test instrument designed to dramatically improve the confidence and safety of TPG installation. It allows fast and accurate measurements of your TPG installation every time – in under a minute.
TPG mode provides a TPG resistance pass/fail result (to user requirements or in accordance with ASTM F2249) utilizing a test current of up to 100 Adc.
CPT (Connection Point Test) mode allows for a resistance measurement between the TPG connection point and the surrounding grounding infrastructure to verify adequate connection.
