Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
The AEMC 6471 is a multifunction ground resistance tester covering 3-point fall-of-potential, 4-point soil resistivity, selective and stakeless measurement methods. That range makes it a single-instrument hire for earthing work: verifying electrode resistance, measuring soil resistivity for earthing design, and testing bonds and connections without disconnecting the system.
Typical hire scenarios: soil resistivity surveys ahead of substation or renewable earthing design, earth grid verification during commissioning, and periodic earth testing on existing installations. Megavar’s earthing engineers use these methods daily and can support test planning or run the survey for you.
The 6471 supports:
• 2-pole and 3-pole earth resistance testing
• 4-pole soil resistivity testing (Wenner method)
• Selective and stakeless testing using clamps
• Bonding and continuity testing
The instrument works with standard stakes and leads. For selective or stakeless testing, optional current and voltage clamps are required (can be rented with the unit).
Yes. The 6471 has a built-in noise rejection system and selectable test frequencies to reduce the effects of interference in high-voltage environments.
