Importance of Soil Resistivity Testing for Electrical Earthing Design
What is Soil Resistivity? Soil resistivity is a measure of how much the soil resists the flow of electricity. Soil Resistivity Testing is determining that measure. Therefore, is a critical factor in the design of systems that rely on passing current through the Earth’s surface. An understanding of the soil resistivity and how it varies […]
Electrical Earthing System Design Separation
During a recent training event held by SES Technologies for CDEGS (Current Distribution, Electromagnetic Fields, Grounding and Soil Structure Analysis). A finite element analysis software suite for Electrical Earthing System Design, a number of issues were discussed. But one that crops up time and time again in the UK was that old chestnut in Electrical Earthing […]
What is Remote Finite Element Analysis Earth Test?
Earth Testing – We’re frequently asked by Critical Asset owners – “Do we really have to physically test our Electrical Earthing System?”
ISO 55000 – 5 Things you need to know now
It’s difficult to get excited about any of the ISO standards but knowing these are hardly the most exciting of reads, imagine the delight when asked by a client “what do you know about ISO 55000?”
