Principle of Operation
If the parallel connection of resistors R1...Rn is considerably lower than the ground
connection under test R X:

—————————––––––– << R X

U
then R X = —— is a reasonable approximation.

The test voltage (U) is applied without disconnecting ground rod and/or direct electrical
connection by means of a clamp-on current transformer and the current detected by a
second current transformer.
After synchronous rectification of current and voltage the tester displays R X .
