Product presentation

Tester for all types of earth measurements, including pylon earth measurements (with the C.A 6474) - soil resistivity - earth coupling - ground potential - continuity & resistance

The C.A 6472 can be used for quick, comprehensive surveys of all earthing configurations, offering all the necessary earth measurement functions in a single instrument.

When used with the C.A 6474, it can also perform pylon earth measurements, making it a unique but essential tool for diagnostics and maintenance on pylon networks.

The C.A 6472 offers the possibility of analysing the frequency behaviour of the earth connections thanks to its extensive measurement frequency range (41 to 5,078 Hz). The use of a high-frequency measurement signal makes it possible to assess the behaviour of an earthing circuit in the presence of lightning.

Functions:

  • 3P measurement up to 10 kΩ and stray voltages up to 60 V RMS
  • 4P and selective 4P measurement
  • Earth loop measurement with 2 clamps from 0.01 Ω to 500 Ω
  • Earth coupling measurement
  • Soil resistivity measurement: simply program the distances used for the measurement and the tester then calculates r using the Wenner oe Schlumberger methods
  • Ground potential measurement
  • Continuity and resistance measurement
  • Pylon earth measurement with the C.A 6474

Other specifications:

  • Storage of 512 test results
  • USB optical link
  • Ground Tester Transfer PC software to process the stored data
  • Power supply: NiMh battery with external charger
  • IP53 protection
  • IEC 61557 -1 -4 -5
  • IEC 61010 50V CAT IV
  • Dimensions: 272 x 250 x 128 mm, 3 kg

The GTT (Ground Tester Transfer) software allows you to control the CA 6470N, CA 6471 and CA 6472/74 earth testers.

GTT is a tool that enables you to:

  • Configure the devices,
  • Download and view data stored in memory,
  • Take instant readings,
  • Export this measurement data to DataView (*.dvb files) or to an Excel spreadsheet (*.csv or *.xls files). Please note: DataView is not supplied with this version of GTT.

The device’s firmware can be updated via the RS-232 optical link, using the HyperTerminal program (not supplied by Chauvin Arnoux).
