How Together We Can Create the Earthing Superpowers We Need to Save Lives.

Earthing Superpowers Like Mario

Before we get into today’s blog “Earthing Superpowers” and how together we can create the superpowers we need to save lives. I want to share a personal story.

I have a confession to make…

Earlier this year I found myself in the Southern Ocean at 45deg Lattitude barrelling along at 20-30 knots on a 70 foot (23m) surfboard otherwise known as a sailboat called Black Betty in 45kts winds and 10-12m swells. In those conditions, it’s all one can do, but to think about the here and immediate ‘now’. But, outside the times of sheer panic, and during the time of reflection, the thoughts of superpowers surfaces.

Not Only Earthing Studies. Other things you never realised YOU could do!

Earthingg Studies done, but what else?

We’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?

Comparison between XGSLab and CDEGS

Comparing CDEGS with XGSLab

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.

Why XGSLab Software And Not CDEGS And Why Now?

XGSLab Electromagnetic Simulation Software

So, the question I poised “Why XGSLab Software And Not CDEGS” And Why Now? Well, that’s a big question and an even bigger decision. In this post, I explain the logic of my decision and the “why” of my decision.

Since 2013, Greymatters prime purpose is to protect life. More personally, my goal is explicitly to save at least one life before I head off to the pearly gates and return into space dust.

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.

Why Ground Testing is Important to Maintain Adequate Grounding And Bonding

Soil Resistivity Testing

Ground 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.

What is the Difference between Grounding and Bonding?
