For big earth plant<br />

Geotest <strong>2016</strong><br />

Also this procedure is based on the voltamperometric method, but it’s mainly used when<br />

it’s difficult to position the auxiliary current rod at a distance corresponding to fivefold the<br />

diagonal of the area of the earth equipment. Position the current probe at a distance equal<br />

to the diagonal of the area of the earth equipment (see ). To make sure that the voltage<br />

probe is positioned outside the area affected by the rod under test, take more<br />

measurements, first positioning the voltage probe at half-way between the rod and the<br />

current probe, then moving the probe both towards the earth rod and towards the current<br />

probe.<br />

Use several rods in parallel and<br />

moisten the surrounding ground if<br />

the instrument does not manage<br />

to supply the current necessary to<br />

perform the test because of an<br />

high earth resistance.<br />
