Description
The GDDT-40U is a high-current, high-precision intelligent ground continuity tester designed for measuring continuity resistance between grounding down-leads and main grounding grids in 110kV–500kV substations, power plants, and industrial sites. It adopts 40A constant current output and four-wire test method, eliminating contact resistance errors and ensuring accurate measurement of low-resistance connections.
Equipped with a 320×240 65K true-color TFT touch LCD, it provides intuitive graphical operation and clear visibility under strong sunlight. The high-speed MCU control enables fully automatic testing, while intelligent power management minimizes internal heating and extends service life. With 1000 groups of data storage, realtime clock, and RS232/USB communication, it supports data review, U disk export, and PC software analysis. Ideal for periodic maintenance, commissioning, and fault diagnosis of grounding systems to prevent hidden dangers caused by corrosion or poor contact.
