What is the purpose of Earth Tester?

When some extraordinary cases occur, fault current and overcurrent may cause damages to equipment or a risk to humans because the equipment is not grounded. To prevent such risks, grounding plays and important role to assure safety. Grounding provides and escape way to electricity from and electric appliance through metal rod driven into the ground. After grounding works are performed to prevent hazards and assure safety, the earth resistance is measured. To measure the earth resistance, two grounding rods are stuck into the ground.

How to Arrange grounding rods?

Three-electrode method: Arrange the earth E and auxiliary grounding rods P and C in a straight line at intervals of about 5 to 10m

* If they cannon be arranged in a straight line because of the presence of an obstacle, arrange E-P and E-C at angles of about 30 degrees or less.

Two-electrode method: If an earth E whose grounding resistance is known is present nearby, the unknown groudning resistance can be measured by using it. Connect the terminal E of the earth resistance meter and the earth E by a cord. Measurements are taken between E and P / C assuming P and C terminals as one terminals.

* The indicated value includes the knows resistance value of the earth E. Subtract the grounding resistance of E to obtain the true value.
