UNI-T UT572 Earth Ground Resistance Tester
Overview
The UT572 verifies grounding systems using 2-, 3-, and 4-wire earth resistance methods and adds soil-resistivity measurement β so the same kit checks an existing electrode and surveys ground for a new one. It measures across five ranges from 4 Ξ© to 40 kΞ© and is rated CAT III 600 V.
Dual test frequencies (94 Hz / 128 Hz) and disturbance-voltage handling keep readings stable on live sites, and 20 result groups store on-board. It runs on AA batteries for field portability. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing.

UT572 Details
2/3/4-Wire Earth Resistance
The UT572 supports the standard fall-of-potential methods β 2-, 3-, and 4-wire β so you can match the test to the site, from a quick 2-wire check to a 4-wire measurement that removes lead resistance for accuracy on low-ohm electrodes.
Soil Resistivity
Beyond electrode resistance, the UT572 measures soil resistivity over stake spacings from 1 m to 40 m β the survey you need to design a grounding system or lightning-protection scheme before it's installed.
Stable Readings on Live Sites
Dual test frequencies of 94 Hz and 128 Hz and disturbance-voltage handling reject the stray currents and noise common around energized installations, so readings stay repeatable in the field.
Field Use
Five ranges from 4 Ξ© to 40 kΞ© cover everything from a good electrode to high-resistance soil, 20 result groups store on-board, and AA-battery power keeps the kit portable.
Applications
Earth-electrode and grounding-system verification; lightning-protection and substation ground testing; soil-resistivity surveys for new installations; and facility and contractor compliance checks on grounding.
