Measures electrical resistance of grounding system. Low resistance ensures safety by quickly dissipating faults to ground.

  1. 1Rod length and diameter affect resistance
  2. 2Soil resistance varies (clay 10, loam 50, sand 1000+ ohms)
  3. 3Resistance ≈ (ρ ÷ L) × (ln(8L÷d) - 2)
  4. 4Target <5 ohms for safety (varies by code)
  5. 5Multiple rods in parallel reduce resistance

  • Not measuring resistance after installation
  • Using single rod in high-resistance soil

Why is low earthing resistance critical?

Allows fault current to return safely; high resistance causes dangerous voltages.

How do I improve earthing resistance?

Longer rods, lower soil resistance (add bentonite), multiple rods, better soil moisture.
