Hey Everyone!
I need to pick your brains and see if we can come up with a solution.
I am working on a PLC Project where we are pumping acetone from a railcar to a tanker truck. We are going to be using permissive grounding devices but I want to be able to determine what the effective ground reading in ohms on a grounded line before any pumping occurs. What I am trying to accomplish is checking the ground resistance to verify it is not over say 28 Ohms and if so, I will stop the system. I am trying to create a system that is safe since acetone is a combustible.
Now that I have stated what I want to do, is there some sort of CT Device I can use to get a ground reading? It would be similar to a Fluke 1630 Earth Ground Clamp Meter but primarily for PLC application.
Thoughts / Suggestions?
