EARTHING CLAMP
With electronic monitoring system

ECS-R series electronic equipment provides earth connection of process equipment (road tankers, drums, IBCs, etc..) with real-time ground connection monitoring. The system monitors that connection to earth is obtained with a resistance lower than 10Ω.
