There are 3 terminals of an Earth Tester meter. Connect two terminals of meter to earth as far as cables can. Fix the two rods in to soil with the help of a small Hammer. Then connect two knobs of the meter with these rods.Connect the third terminal to the Earth Pit,to whom earth resistance is to be measured. The meter reading will indicate the resistance of the earth pit.The Best resistance of an earth pit must be under unity(<1).

Placing a voltmeter into a circuit will raise the circuit resistance?
Usually a volt meter is placed across a component to measure the voltage drop across that component. Doing this places the volt meter resistance in parallel with that component's resistance, which will always lower the total resistance. Since the volt meter resistance is usually very large relative to the resistance of the element being measured, the total resistance does not change significantly. The formula for total resistance of two parallel elements is: Rtot = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2), as R1 (the volt meter) >> R2, Rtot ~= (R1*R2) / (R1) = R2 If a volt meter is placed into a circuit instead of around an element of that circuit, it will raise the resistance of the circuit, load the circuit with, and interrupt "normal" operation of the circuit (normal operation = how things would be without the meter in place). More importantly, the volt meter would then be measuring the voltage developped across itself (instead of an element of the circuit), which is not the point of this tool / this would be a misapplication of a volt meter.
How does a trivector meter works?
all of tri vector meter is naot good
What is the resistance between phase and earth?
You measure at a socket, you should measure well less than one ohm resistance between earth and neutral. .my answer: theoritically it is zero
How does a DC clamp meter work?
a DC clamp meter works on the principals of what is called "Hall Effect." The meter creates a magnetic field, and the DC voltage passing through the wire interacts to crate a meter reading.
What opposing forces act on an object falling freely through the atmosphere?
The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.
Why it is essential for voltmeters to have a very high resistance?
if the resistance of the meter is low that will act as a parallel load effecting the reading. If the meter can be made with infinite resistance then the meter will not effects the actual reading.
What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
When the leads of the meter are touched together a nd the meter is set to measure resistance what should the resistance reading be?
Zero ohms.
Which is a measurement of resistance?
By ohm meter.
Ideal resistance of a Amp Meter?
if any thing is ideal then that has no any resistance
Measuring instrument for resistance?
OHM-meter.
What are the functions of ohm meter?
Measures resistance.
What a Ohm meter measures in a circuit?
Resistance
Can you use ohm-meter to measure a resistance between the neutral line N and the ground E?
If the meter is sensitive enough and there is a resistance between the neutral and ground then the meter should be able to detect it.
What is the difference between earth resistance and insulation resistance?
insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm
What is the difference between insulation resistance and earth resistance?
insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm
What kind of meter is used to test resistance?
Ohmmeter.
