Electrical Earthing System Design & Soil Resistivity Testing
Are you feeling overwhelmed or out of your depth, well stop. Test drive our new online Training for Earthing courses. And say goodbye to PowerPoint slides forever!
I don’t care how many tips and fixes there are out there on the info-web that claim to make boring training for earthing PowerPoint (PPT) slides less boring… THEY ARE STILL BORING!
But here’s the good news.
[Read more…] about Stop Feeling Overwhelmed or Out of Your Depth – [New] Online Training for Earthing CourseWe’ve written previously about why we use CDEGS HIFREQ and (X)GSA_FD for earthing studies. Also, the reasons to invest in the top 1% of tools, knowledge and consultants. But once you’ve invested in building the model to understand what earthing is required, what are the other things you can do with this model. Additionally, answer other questions you might have?

I’m actually in Western Australia writing this post. Having completed a life long ambition and the most challenging personal goal of my life. That’s crossing the Southern Ocean from South Africa to Australia. Competing in a leg of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. I write more about this in my personal blog.
[Read more…] about Seasonal Greetings and A Round-Up of 2019In his previous blog, Ian explained our decision to work with XGSLab, on the basis that it is an equally capable tool as CDEGS, that is much easier to use. In this blog, I’m going under to hood, so to speak. Comparing CDEGS with XGSLab to show you some real-world examples where CDEGS and XGSLab give almost identical results.
Therefore, in all of these examples, we have completed and verified the earthing design for these sites and found good agreement between the modelled results and the post-installation measurements. On this basis, we can say that XGSLab matches CDEGS for accuracy, and both tools have good agreement with the real-world measurements.

Knowing we’re focused on saving lives through the work we do. It makes sense that everything we do supports this goal, i.e. using the top 1% software tools, with top 1% equipment by top 1% engineering talent. So that mistakes are avoided, errors eliminated, and the best chance of surviving electrocution is built-in to all our work.
[Read more…] about Why XGSLab – Not CDEGS and Why NowGround testing is typically performed in two stages. The first is conducted during the construction of a building to ensure proper installation of the electrical system. And the second involves routine ground testing to ensure the ‘actual’ arrangements perform as ‘predicted’ at the design stage. Thus, to avoid costly and fatal errors.
