Earth Ground Testing
' F, r0 G4 ~; F- E9 u. |! D C8 G$ d) }8 D( H
Most 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.9 ]8 D) F$ P. i1 T0 `
