Electrical Earthing Testing in Urban Environments

Electrical earthing testing.  We are asked frequently – How do you test an Earth arrangement in London?

What is Electrical Earthing Testing?

Electrical earthing, or grounding, refers to the practice of intentionally connecting a conductor to the ground for safety and functional purposes. Electrical earthing testing is the process of testing the effectiveness of the electrical earthing system in a building or other structure to ensure that it is adequately protecting people and equipment from the risks associated with electrical fault currents. This can include testing the resistance of the earthing system to ensure that it can safely conduct fault currents, as well as testing the continuity and integrity of the earthing conductor. Electrical earthing testing is typically carried out by electricians or other qualified professionals using specialized test equipment.

Designing SAFE Electrical Earthing: Answering Impossible Questions

Computer modelling for safe electrical earthing systems for Fault, EMI or Lightning Attachments

The use of computing power to check, evaluate or inspect concepts in all walks of life and business, is increasingly common. Whether you forecast the performance of stock and shares or building an Electrical Generation Plant.

For safe electrical earthing systems using engineering computer software such as CDEGS allows us to stress-test designs and systems to evaluate their performance under given conditions.

Understanding Electromagnetic Inference using Finite Element Analysis

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for solving problems in engineering and applied sciences. It is used to analyze and predict the behavior of complex systems. Such as structures, machines, and electronic devices, under a wide range of conditions (i.e. forces, energies, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects).

Finite element analysis shows how something will perform when stressed. Whether it will break, wear out, or work the way it was designed BEFORE it is created, installed or built in the ‘real’ world.

It is called analysis, but in the product development process. It is used to predict what is going to happen when the product is used.

What is The Importance of Earthing in Electrical Installation?

What is the importance of earthing in the electrical installation?

Here’s a very personal story explaining not only “What” BUT…

…Why Earthing is Important to me.

1. Back Story

How many times are you asked ”What do you do for a living?”. For most of us, it’s quite an easy response “I do this… or I do that”… e.g. “I am an Engineer at a local practice”.  However, recently someone not only asked what I do but asked… “Wow, that’s interesting, you’re a Specialist Electrical Earthing Design Consultant – WHY did you get into that?”

50 Shades Freed – Unleashing CDEGS!

During my previous blog, where we explored the analogy of the car when comparing to Earthing Studies using CDEGS – if your project is a high value, critical asset, and/or infrastructure effecting large populations – then this is likely to require a more demanding level of performance in the foundational design data.
