Megger's DET4TC2 is a portable, lightweight instrument used for easy measurements of earthing. It is capable of performing 2, 3 and 4 point testing with variable frequency, attached rod technique (via optional clamp sold separately), stakeless testing (again via optional clamp), leakage current and ground noise voltage measurements.

The DET4TC2 is simple to use with an interface that is easy to understand. To switch between tests, you simply use the rotary dial to choose which test type you want. You can then choose the frequency of the test using the Hz to switch between 94, 105, 111 and 128Hz modes and you can then change the overall voltage of the test procedure between 25/50V. There's also a button for activating a backlight on the LCD screen, allowing you to see your measurements in poor lighting conditions. When that's all done you simply press the test button to activate the test and gain readings.

By use of ICLAMP (Megger accessory which is sold separately) the Megger DET4TC2 is able to use ART, which allows electrode testing without connection and leakage current measurements. You can also use the VCLAMP accessory (sold separately) to perform true stakeless measurements, ideal for areas where it is impossible to use driving stakes.

The overall resistance range of this tester is between 0.01 to 200kΩ, the ground noise voltage range is between 1V to 100V and ground current measurements are between 1mA to 20A. To aid with maintaining the accuracy of test results the DET4TC2 also includes noise evaluation and rejection, and the device will automatically reject noise voltages of 40V peak to peak to minimise the overall effect electrical noise can have on test results.

This device is rated to 100V CAT IV and is in compliance with IEC 61557-5.
