Get Grounded: Introducing ‘How-To’ Sessions in Earthing Design

If you’re an electrical engineer, you know how crucial it is to have a solid grounding system for your electrical installations. Proper earthing design protects against electrical shock, ensures electrical safety, and prolongs the lifespan of your equipment. But what happens when you encounter a complex grounding challenge that’s beyond your expertise? That’s where “how-to” sessions in earthing design come in.

Our how-to sessions provide a step-by-step approach to solving a specific problem or achieving a specific goal. In earthing design, how-to sessions provide a practical approach to complex grounding challenges. Enabling you to acquire new knowledge, improve your skills, and stay up-to-date with industry best practices.

Soil Resistivity Testing Method – The 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 testing methods. Also, its one of the three most popular soil resistivity methods employed, to perform a soil resistivity test. Therefore, this piece describes how to carry out the Wenner 4 Probe Test Method.
