5 FAQ’s about Earthing Fault Theory

This video should give you an idea of what we do and how the earthing fault theory works. Below are the most Frequently asked questions on Earth Fault.

The following Earthing Fault Theory video will go some way to answering the first question, and we will be covering the other questions over time. But if you need answers now, why not click this link and schedule in a free 30-minute consultation with one of our earthing experts.

  1. How does fault theory work?
  2. Why is it necessary to model/simulate my scheme?
  3. What’s the latest standard I need to work to?
  4. How does simulation help?
  5. Is my scheme or current setup ‘vulnerable’?

We take a look at soil resistivity and provide practical advice on what is ground soil resistivity, why we measure it and these common mistakes when Soil Resistivity Testing:

Soil Resistivity Testing Methods Wenner 4 Probe Test

Soil Resistivity Testing Methods a popular post. Originally published in 2013 and now updated. A Wenner probe test is a geotechnical investigation method used to determine the electrical resistivity of the soil. Soil resistivity testing can be carried out using different methods. The Wenner 4 Probe test is one of the most common soil resistivity […]

Schlumberger Array

The Schlumberger array is a geotechnical investigation method which determines the electrical resistivity of the soil. This is similar to the Wenner probe test, but it uses multiple current electrodes rather than just two. This allows for a more detailed and accurate measurement of soil resistivity. Soil resistivity testing carried out using different methods, this […]

Driven Rod Method

The driven rod test is a geotechnical investigation method which determines the resistance of soil to the penetration of a rod or other penetrometer.  The Soil resistivity is determined using different Soil Resistivity Testing methods. However the Driven Rod, described below is the last of the three most popular Soil Resistivity Testing methods we use […]
