The UNI-T UT278A+ is a handheld clamp meter designed to streamline earth ground testing by allowing resistance measurements without disconnecting grounding conductors or deploying auxiliary electrodes. Its slender, slightly contoured body houses a robust jaw assembly that opens to encircle conductors up to 32 mm in diameter. Once the jaw is securely clamped around a grounding conductor, the unit injects a small test current and senses the resulting voltage drop to compute ground resistance presenting the result on a clear, four‐digit LCD display.
The case is molded from impact‐resistant polymer and incorporates double‐insulation to safeguard the user and minimize interference from adjacent electrical sources. A single rotary switch on the front panel enables quick mode selection, while large, tactile buttons allow one‐handed operation, even when wearing gloves. Internally, the UT278A+ employs auto‐ranging circuitry to select the appropriate measurement scale and stabilize readings rapidly. Audible and visual alarms alert the technician when measured values exceed preset thresholds. At approximately 285 mm in length and weighing just over 1 kg (including batteries), the meter balances portability with ruggedness.
Overall, the UT278A+ delivers fast, reliable ground resistance data in seconds, making it a practical tool for field technicians who need accurate diagnostics without interrupting energized systems.
