Earth Ground Testing

9 a" w8 A0 K$ u8 CMost facilities have grounded electrical systems, so that in the event of a lightning strike or utility over voltage, current will find a safe path to earth. A ground electrode provides the contact between the electrical system and the earth. To ensure a reliable connection to earth, electrical codes, engineering standards, and local standards often specify a minimum impedance for the ground electrode. The International Electrical Testing Association specifies ground electrode testing every three years for a system in good condition with average up-time requirements.1 ]0 Q; U8 x% ?6 w4 l/ z
