The GW Instek GCT-9040 is a 40 A AC ground bond tester designed to verify the integrity of the protective earth connection on electrical products. It delivers up to 40 A of AC test current and measures ground bond resistance from 1.0 mΩ to 650.0 mΩ, with a 240 x 64 ice blue dot-matrix LCD that displays test parameters and results, function keys for quick selection, and a high-intensity flash indicator for caution and status signaling.

According to the datasheet, the GCT-9040 supports safety testing of ground bond integrity on electrical products in manufacturing, quality assurance verification, safety standard compliance pre-qualification in R&D, and sequential or simultaneous test operation when paired with the GPT-9800 and GPT-9900 series safety testers. The instrument is positioned to replace the legacy GCT-630 and to augment the existing GW Instek safety tester product line.

Brand Heritage

GW Instek is the trade name of Good Will Instrument Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-headquartered test and measurement manufacturer founded in 1975 with global subsidiaries serving China, Malaysia, Europe, the U.S., Japan, and Korea. The brand has remained under independent ownership throughout its history rather than being absorbed into a larger conglomerate, and continues to develop and produce its own safety tester, power supply, oscilloscope, and signal source product lines.
