OK, well Earth Loop Tester have a permanent magnet in it. When we rotate it, the flux cut the the conductor and consequently an emf is produced. As we connect the two point of the tester to the earth it complete the circuit and current start flowing through it.
The ratio of voltage and current give us the Impedance of Earth.

What is neutral earth compensator?
For earth fault protection on the windings of a delta connected transformer. Used in MV distribution. An earth fault current return path is provided by connecting a Neutral Earthing Compensator (NEC) between the three phases of the power system and the earth system. This is done at the source of the supply. The NEC transformer winding has a Zig-zag configuration with no secondary winding. The impedance of the winding is high when there is no fault on the system resulting in only a small magnetising current in the transformer windings. The Zig-zag winding configuration results in a low impedance when an earth fault condition occurs. By inserting resistance between the neutral of the Zig-zag transformer and earth, the earth fault currents can be limited to any desired value. The resistance value and rating has been standardised to allow an earth fault current of 300 amp for 10 seconds, although some older installations may still operate at the old standard of 600 amps.
What is zero sequence impedance in transmission line?
In symmetrical components, there are three types of impedances - positive sequence (balanced), negative sequence (unbalanced), and zero sequence (ground). In a transformer, positive and negative are equal. Ground impedance is determined by the (same factors as the) positive sequence and is based on the flux paths available through the transformer core that can induce ground current.
What can be tested with a digital multimeter?
No. You must use a ground (earth) resistance tester, such as a earth-resistance megger. Apart from the practical requirements for making the test (too long to explain in this answer), a digital multimeter uses a DC supply, which acts to polarise the chemicals in the soil, giving false readings. ANSWER: YES you can but only if there is appreciable Resistance to measure. THERE ARE MANY GROUNDS EARTH IS ONE OF THEM
What is a Megger 1552 used for?
The Megger MFT 1552 is a combined electrical circuit tester which includes test features for Insulation testing, Earth loop impedance tests, RCD Testing and Continuity testing. It comes supplies with full Calibration Certificate.
What is the effect of capacitor in the output noise?
The capacitor on it's own is of no use, it is always used in an RC or LC configuration normally in audio frequency's the RC is used to filter the noise down to earth where the RC circuit have to resonate at the same frequency as the noise, the lower the frequency the larger the value of the capacitor
What is Working Principle of Earth Resistance Tester Need Complete Information How Tester Find Impedance of Supply System.?
It would be a lot of trouble for me to try to explain the working principle of ground resistance tester since my English is no so good but fortunately I can give you the right internet address so you can download the exact information you need: www.dranetz-bmi.com/pdf/groundprinciples.pdfAlexisHavana, Cuba

Why tester glows in phase but not in neutral?
A mains tester works because the potential difference between the live and Earth makes a very small (imperceptible) current flow through the tester and our body to Earth. This current is just enough to light the lamp / Neon. When you stick it in the Neutral socket, the potential difference (just a volt or two, usually) is not enough to give sufficient current to light the neon.When the tester light glows, it mean electrons flow like,from live terminal > tester > body > floor & walls of building > inside the earth>goes back to the generator, via earth or neutral conductor (Please note that somewhere, Neutral and Earth are connected together so we have, in effect, a huge loop of circuit.) Above description is for AC supply only ( path complete thorough earth or nutral to generator neutral), however please note the fhilosophy is not applicable for DC supply where - V is in floting condition (not grounded or earthed) so due to un completation of that circuit tester light will not glow.

How do you wire -48v dc power and ground to earth?
always think of any supply system so : RED = MOST POSITIVE BLACK = MOST NEGATIVE in a telecom system the -48V supply is refferenced to ground and earth, so the supply wire is NEGATIVE, this means a DC supply most positive signal the RED wire, go to EARTH = ZERO, the BLACK wire is the MOST negative, so in this case it is -48V

Why do you need to measure ground resistance value?
The whole point of earthing or grounding is to provide a low-impedance path back to the supply transformer in the event of an earth fault within a wiring installation, which will then enable sufficient earth-fault current to flow in order to operate the circuit's protective device (circuit breaker or fuse). When designing the circuit's protection system, it is therefore necessary to determine the resistance of the earth (ground) as it determines the value of this current.
What is standard earthing of electrical equipment?
i have a question? in the earthing system should we connect the negative pole of supply to the earth for example a +24 power supply?
