Electrical Earthing System Design & Soil Resistivity Testing
We take a look at soil resistivity and provide practical advice on how to avoid the common mistakes of Soil Resistivity Testing:
Ian takes us on a recap of earthing in difficult geologies, you can find the webinar replay here.
Ian: Hello and welcome.
How many times have we faced with the install team, or you are doing tests on site. You come back, and the readings are high, far higher than expected, and you are scratching your head wondering what is going on.
My name is Ian Griffiths, I am the Principal Consultant here at GreyMatters. In today’s webinar, we will take a step back, and we are going to revisit a webinar that was a piece done by Hugh a couple of years ago now, but it has come up is very topical. It is something that we get asked a lot of questions on. So that is the plan for today, let us dive in.

Wenner 4 Probe test is one of the most common soil resistivity testing methods. It is also part 3 in a series of short posts on Soil Resistivity Testing Methods. Part 1 & Part 3. Together with, the common mistakes encountered. And also, practical advice on how to avoid the Soil Resistivity Testing 10 Common Mistakes.
So soil resistivity testing can be carried out using different methods. Therefore, below describes the Wenner 4 Probe Test Method. Also, its one of the three most popular soil resistivity methods employed, to perform a soil resistivity test:
