Earth Ground Testing: k, L' k! @. \8 f7 P
# U8 @0 j% p* T- ]& a# L* xMost 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.( o4 I% p- i- ~+ m+ y: C
