UNI-T UT276A+ Clamp Earth Ground Testers
The UNI-T UT276A+ is a handheld clamp-style instrument crafted to simplify earth ground testing by allowing measurements without disconnecting grounding conductors. Its slim, ergonomically curved housing shelters a robust jaw mechanism that gently opens around grounding conductors up to 32 mm in diameter. Once clamped, the tool injects a small, safe test current into the grounding system and senses the resulting voltage drop to calculate resistance providing instant feedback via its clear four-digit LCD.
The body of the UT276A+ is molded from impact-resistant polymer, ensuring durability in challenging work environments, while a textured grip area helps the operator maintain control, even when wearing gloves. A single rotary switch on the front panel lets the technician select the desired measurement mode, and large, raised buttons allow one-handed operation when quick readings are needed in tight spaces. Internally, dual-insulation construction isolates the user from live components, and built-in circuitry minimizes interference from nearby electrical noise. On-board electronics automatically adjust range and display stability, so readings settle rapidly without manual intervention.
The overall design compact, under 300 mm long and just over 1 kg strikes a balance between portability and ruggedness. In practice, the UT276A+ delivers reliable ground resistance data in seconds, making it an ideal companion for professionals who need fast, non-intrusive diagnostics of grounding networks.
