Using a ground resistance tester: Measurement principles and

The resistance between a grounding electrode and the earth is generally known as ground resistance. More precisely, ground resistance is the total of the grounding conductor''s resistance, the contact resistance of the grounding conductor and earth, and the earth''s resistance. Ground resistance differs from ordinary resistors in that it has ...

Current Thinking on Testing Protective Grounding

Recently, new test technology in the form of a new patented low energy, high current test has been pioneered that overcomes the previous contact resistance problems that inhibited the wider application of protective ground testing using 1A or 200mA test currents. As a result the new concept successfully conquers variations in measure-

Proper Grounding is Critical for Battery Energy Storage Systems

For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve customer-targeted resistance levels. These low resistance levels allow fault currents to easily discharge into the ground, protecting people, equipment and the BESS itself.
