Kyoritsu KEW 4200 Review

In modern electrical maintenance, grounding verification must be performed quickly, safely, and accurately.
The Kyoritsu KEW 4200 Earth Clamp Tester is designed specifically for professionals who need to measure
earth resistance in multi‑grounding systems without using auxiliary ground spikes.
This clamp‑type tester simplifies grounding inspections and significantly reduces testing time in complex installations.

Quick Overview
The KEW 4200 allows technicians to measure earth resistance from 0.05Ω to 1500Ω and detect
True RMS leakage current up to 30A using a clamp mechanism. This eliminates the need for additional rods or wires during testing in multiple earthing systems.

Expert Tips: Getting the Most Accurate Results

Tip 1 – Ensure a Multiple Earthing System
The KEW 4200 only works correctly when the grounding system has multiple earth connections.
If the system has only a single ground electrode, the measurement will not be valid.

 

Tip 2 – Use the Noise Filter in Industrial Environments
In locations with heavy electrical noise (such as factories or substations), enable the filter function to stabilize the measurement signal.

 

Tip 3 – Clamp Around a Single Conductor Only
Avoid clamping around multiple grounding conductors at once. This can cause inaccurate resistance readings.

 

Tip 4 – Check Leakage Current
Monitoring leakage current during ground testing can reveal insulation problems or unexpected current paths in the earthing network.

Troubleshooting Common Measurement Problems

Problem: OL appears on the screen
This usually means the measured value exceeds the selected range or the circuit condition is unsuitable for clamp measurement.

 

Problem: Measurement fluctuates heavily
High electromagnetic noise or poor clamp positioning may cause unstable readings.

 

Problem: Unexpectedly high resistance value
Check whether the grounding system actually contains multiple ground electrodes.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial grounding inspections
  • Telecommunication tower grounding systems
  • Power distribution network maintenance
  • Lightning protection grounding verification
  • Preventive maintenance in large facilities
Important Limitation
The KEW 4200 cannot measure a single grounding electrode.
It is specifically designed for interconnected grounding networks where multiple earth paths exist.

Final Verdict

The Kyoritsu KEW 4200 is a powerful and practical earth clamp tester designed for professionals who need efficient grounding measurements in complex electrical systems.
With its ability to measure earth resistance without auxiliary rods, combined with True RMS current measurement and built‑in noise filtering, it offers a reliable solution for fast field inspections.
