1 review for Amprobe GP-2A Ground Resistance Resistivity Tester

  1. SteveB

    Great build quality, great functionality

    I received an Amprobe GP-2A as a warranty replacement for a previous model that arrived without the accessory bag containing all of the connection cables, the comm cable, and stakes. Amrpobe’s Customer Service handled the issue like pros and sent me the replacement unit straight away.

    Using the GP-2A was very intuitive and provided us with highly accurate results for both ground array resistance and soil resistivity. Both of which were very important to us in the design and installation of a fuel handling & storage facility that required lightning protection, a low resistance ground grid, and cathodic protection for buried pipelines. The ability to export the results was icing on the cake.

    Well done, Amprobe!

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.
