Earth Ground Testing
/ e& {* ~, c1 Z W
# l# W& E; m! R* \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.5 }# r0 ~; M2 \2 O, o& k" r
