Earth Ground Testing
6 p5 }; j6 u9 v A. a
& X8 ^+ B' v+ e7 FMost 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.0 w. D& z3 O9 Q9 F. Q" v& j
