ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TESTER- SAFETY FOOTWEAR

The Electrical Resistance Tester for footwear consists of an arrangement to measure the resistance between two electrodes across the footwear with a specified voltage applied across them. The internal electrode comprises of steel balls placed in the footwear and the external electrode comprises of a copper plate on which the footwear is placed.

The specified voltage is supplied through a built-in power supply and measured on a digital voltmeter. The resistance is measured on a million-mega-ohm meter and a kilo-ohm meter. The results will be displayed in YES or NO or PASS or FAIL with the additional modification in the system.
