Lightning protection calibration resistance
The ETCR 3900 is a standard resistance box built for calibrating grounding resistance testers and equipotential testers. It covers a range of .001 to 100 kilo-ohms using nine military-grade wire-wound resistors. The unit uses a four-wire connection method so measurements can be shifted without changing test leads. It is intended for electrical engineers and lightning protection inspectors who need a stable reference.
Suited for calibration labs, not general testing
This tool serves technicians who must verify or adjust the accuracy of dedicated grounding and equipotential instruments. It does not measure unknown resistances, voltage or current, so electricians looking for a multifunction multimeter or a portable insulation tester should look elsewhere. The package excludes batteries and an English manual, which must be sourced separately.
Resistance range .001 to 100 kilo-ohms
The single specification that decides fit is the calibrated resistance span of .001 ohm to 100 kilo-ohms with a best accuracy of .05 percent. If your calibration procedure requires values outside this span or a different connection method, the 3900 will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
Will the internal wire-wound resistors need periodic recalibration or replacement?
The unit uses nine military-grade wire-wound resistors with 0.05% accuracy; no user-serviceable parts are listed, so any recalibration would require sending it to a qualified lab.
What is the highest resistance value the box can simulate before it stops being a valid reference?
The range tops out at 100 kO, so that is the upper limit for any calibration or verification task.
Does the instrument generate noticeable heat or fan noise during continuous calibration sessions?
It is a passive resistance decade box with no active cooling or power supply, so it produces no fan noise and negligible heat in normal use.
