TENTECH TM25t Grounding Resistance Meter

Download Product Specs

The TM25t is specially designed to test grounding resistance of power transmission towers, overcoming challenges posed by interconnected grounding wires. Conventional low-frequency earth meters often provide inaccurate readings because they measure the combined resistance of multiple towers. The TM25t uses a high-frequency (25 kHz) test current to isolate and accurately measure the resistance of a single tower’s grounding system without disconnecting the ground wire.

Ideal for harsh outdoor environments, this portable device ensures reliable, fast, and safe testing of tower grounding quality — critical for protecting transmission lines against lightning discharges.

Key Features

  • Measures earth resistance of individual electricity pylons

  • High-frequency operation (25 kHz) minimizes interference from adjacent towers connected by ground wires

  • Automatic 20 mA test current injection

  • Inductive component compensation via internal capacitor bank (max 4.2 μF, resolution 10 nF)

  • Accurate readings with ±2.5% accuracy

  • Large alphanumeric LCD with 4 lines and 20 characters, including large numbers for easy reading

  • Built-in thermal printer for immediate test reports

  • Stores up to 2,000 test results in internal non-volatile memory

  • Supports Modbus protocol for industrial integration

  • USB and Bluetooth connectivity for configuration, control, and data download

  • Compatible with PC software (TLogger) and Android app (TENTECH Remote Control) for remote operation and report generation

  • Robust and weather-resistant with IP65 rating (lid closed)

  • Rechargeable lithium-iron phosphate battery with included charger

  • Includes comprehensive accessories kit for field testing
