In the following tutorial, we will explain how to measure, check, and test ground / earth resistance using different methods, including a multimeter, megger, and digital earth/ground resistance testers such as Fluke 1625-2 geo earth ground tester. The International Electrical Testing Association specifies ground electrode testing every three years for a system in good condition with average up-time requirements. This application note explains earth/ground principles and safety in more depth and then describes the principle testing methods: 3. Topics addressed include safety considerations, measuring earth resistivity, measuring the power system frequency resistance or impedance of the ground system to remote earth, measuring the transient or surge impedance of the ground system to remote earth, measuring step and touch voltages. Abstract: Practical test methods and techniques are presented for measuring the electrical characteristics of grounding systems. In order to ensure that, ground resistance measurements and tests are conducted on existing earth electrodes at periodic intervals after their installation. Grounding systems provide a path for fault currents to flow.
