Overview
About GCT-9040
The GCT-9040 is an AC ground bond tester delivering up to 40A test current with a measurement range from 1 milliohm to 650 milliohm for verifying protective earth continuity in electrical products. When connected with a GPT-9800 or GPT-9900 series safety tester, it forms a comprehensive multi-function safety test station covering hipot, insulation resistance, and ground bond in a single automated sequence.
| Feature | Specification |

| Test Current | AC 40A |
| Resistance Range | 1 mOhm to 650 mOhm |
| Memory Blocks | 100 |
| Display | 240x64 ice blue dot matrix LCD |
| Amplifier | PWM switching |
| Status Indicator | High intensity flash |
| Remote Terminal | Front panel |
| USB Device | Standard |
| Signal I/O | Standard |
| GPIB | Optional |
| GPT Integration | GPT-9800/9900 series compatible |
The front-panel remote terminal enables convenient test lead connection for both benchtop and fixture-based ground bond measurements. Up to 100 memory blocks store test parameters for different product types, allowing operators to recall configurations instantly without manual entry. The high intensity flash indicator provides clear visual pass/fail status visible from a distance on busy production floors.
PWM switching amplifier technology delivers the 40A test current efficiently while minimizing instrument heat generation during continuous testing. Integration with GPT-9800/9900 safety testers creates a unified test workflow where ground bond, withstanding voltage, and insulation resistance tests execute in a single automated sequence.
Production facilities manufacturing Class I appliances, industrial equipment, power tools, and medical devices rely on the GCT-9040 for protective earth continuity verification per IEC, UL, and EN safety standards.
GSAS Micro Systems provides the GCT-9040 in India with safety test system configuration, GPT integration setup, and traceable calibration services.

Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
