Kyoritsu KEW 4300 simplified earth resistance tester

Product Overview

The Kyoritsu KEW 4300 is a compact and easy-to-use simplified earth resistance tester based on the 2-pole measurement method. It is designed for quick grounding checks on distribution lines, electrical installations, and appliances.

In addition to earth resistance measurement, the KEW 4300 also measures AC/DC voltage, with True RMS measurement for AC voltage, making it a versatile tool for field technicians and maintenance engineers.

With low test current (max 2 mA), the instrument does not trip RCDs, ensuring safe and uninterrupted testing.

Key Features

• Simplified 2-pole earth resistance measurement
• Auto-ranging 200 Ω / 2000 Ω ranges
• Warning buzzer when earth resistance is 100 Ω or less
• LED indicator for excessive earth voltage detection
• Live circuit warning at 30 V or higher
• Detects voltage even during resistance measurement
• Built-in LED light for illuminating measurement points
• Automatic light control based on ambient brightness
• Small test current (max 2 mA) — does not trigger RCD
• True RMS AC voltage measurement
• Auto power-off function
• Compact pen-type design
