Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 Earth & Resistivity Tester
Reliable earthing measurements are vital for electrical safety and system performance. The Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 Earth & Resistivity Tester provides a complete solution for measuring earth resistance, soil resistivity, and grounding performance. Its wide measurement capability allows technicians to evaluate earthing systems quickly and with confidence.
Designed for both simple checks and detailed diagnostics, the instrument supports several measurement methods used in professional installations. Engineers can perform standard earth resistance tests or analyse soil resistivity conditions during installation planning. Because of this flexibility, the Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 Earth & Resistivity Tester suits maintenance teams working in industrial, utility, and infrastructure environments.
Comprehensive earth measurement capability
Accurate testing requires methods suited to different installation types. The Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 supports three pole, four pole, and selective four pole measurement modes for reliable results. It also measures earth loop resistance and calculates soil resistivity using recognised Wenner and Schlumberger techniques.
Designed for demanding field conditions
Field testing equipment must remain dependable even in harsh outdoor environments. A robust enclosure with IP53 protection helps the tester withstand dust and moisture during site work. The Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 Earth & Resistivity Tester also includes a rechargeable battery that supports long testing sessions.
Advanced signal analysis allows engineers to assess how earthing systems behave under changing conditions. The high frequency measurement capability helps evaluate lightning protection performance and system response. As a result, the Chauvin Arnoux CA6472 Earth & Resistivity Tester becomes a valuable diagnostic tool for complex electrical installations.
