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

How do you measure voltage accurately and effectively?

To measure voltage accurately and effectively, use a digital multimeter set to the voltage range of the circuit being tested. Ensure proper connections and polarity, and take multiple readings to account for fluctuations. Calibrate the multimeter regularly for precise measurements.


When using a digital multimeter to measure ohms the meter display is OL. what does this indicate?

When a digital multimeter displays "OL" while measuring resistance in ohms, it indicates an overload condition, meaning the resistance is too high to be measured by the meter. This typically occurs when the resistance is infinite, such as in an open circuit. In essence, it signifies that there is no continuity or that the component being tested is non-conductive.


What are the types of multi tester?

A Multimeter is an electronic instrument, every electronic technician and engineer’s widely used piece of test equipment. A multimeter is mainly used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics of voltage, current, and resistance. There are two types of multimeters: Analog Multimeter: The Analog Multimeter or VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) is constructed using a moving coil meter and a pointer to indicate the reading on the scale. Digital Multimeter: We mostly used a multimeter is a digital multimeter (DMM). The DMM performs all functions from AC to DC other than analog. It has two probes positive and negative indicated with black and red color as shown in the figure. there are some best multimeters for HVAC.
