A measuring and pay-off device special for an electric transmission line rod tower ground resistor comprises a base and a rotating shaft. A hinge base is mounted in the middle of the top face of the base, a connecting block is hinged to the hinge base, and the connecting block is fixedly provided with a fixing shaft. The fixing shaft is matched to be provided with a connecting sleeve, the connecting sleeve is provided with a connecting rod, and a handle is mounted at the upper end of the connecting rod. Wire coils are mounted at the two ends of the rotating shaft, a crank is mounted on the end face of the outer side of each wire coil, a shaft sleeve is mounted in the middle of the rotating shaft, and the shaft sleeve and the connecting rod are fixedly connected. The measuring and pay-off device special for the electric transmission line rod tower ground resistor has the advantages that the hinge base, the connecting sleeve and the rotating shaft are matched with all related components, take-up and pay-off operation of insulated connecting wires on the wire coils can be achieved at various angles through the cranks, and the phenomena of deformation, cracking and the like caused by winding and binding of the insulated connecting wires in the wire take-up and pay-off process can be avoided. The measuring and pay-off device special for the electric transmission line rod tower ground resistor further has the advantages of being simple and compact in structure, low in manufacturing cost and easy and convenient to use.
