Earth resistance characteristics and applications of earth resistance meters

2024년 06월 28일 14시 05분 07초

Soil resistance is an essential technical parameter that technicians need to understand. The ground resistance meter is a good choice to assist users in determining technical parameters about the spread of current in the ground. Help them calculate and design lightning protection points, voltage balance, as well as build telecommunications, signal and data transmission projects effectively.

Concept of earth resistance

Earth resistance is basically the resistance of a cube-shaped block of earth with dimensions of 1m³, through which current flows from one side to the opposite side. Measuring ground resistance is very important during construction, ensuring the safety of lightning protection devices. After measuring the ground resistance value, the technician will proceed to connect the lightning protection system for household appliances, electric poles, and buildings to ensure safety.

Why is it necessary to measure ground resistance?

In essence, measuring ground resistance for lightning protection systems is to evaluate the safety status of the system, ensure safety for users and avoid the risk of fire and explosion. Besides, measuring ground resistance also helps minimize damage and increase the life of grounding equipment. Currently, earth resistance measurement is calculated and applied according to Vietnamese standard TCVN 4756:1989.

Characteristics of earth resistance meters

Earth resistance meters are mostly designed as handheld, making it easy for users to conduct measurements. 

Earth resistance measuring instruments are used to test and predict insulation resistance, as well as the performance of insulating materials or equipment. This device has a flexible structure, suitable for many different applications. With a compact design, users can easily conduct measurements and receive results quickly and with high accuracy.

This meter also works as a multi-function power meter. For example, the Hioki FT6380 Earth Clamp Meter enables ground resistance measurements for multi-platform systems, measuring leakage current with high sensitivity and 0.01 mA resolution (within 20.00 mA ), and measure load current up to 60.0 A.

A measured voltage of 220V does not necessarily mean the system is operating stably. When the multimeter display and actual equipment behavior begin to contradict each other, the inspection should be expanded to include load conditions, electrical contact quality, and waveform characteristics rather than repeatedly performing the same voltage measurement.
