groundtesting
Groundtesting refers to the process of testing electrical equipment while it is connected to the earth. This is a fundamental safety and functional verification procedure in electrical engineering and power systems. The primary goal of groundtesting is to ensure that the conductive parts of an electrical installation are properly connected to the earth, providing a safe path for fault currents. This prevents electric shock hazards by ensuring that the metal casings of appliances and equipment do not become energized in the event of an internal fault.
The testing typically involves measuring the resistance of the earth connection. A low resistance path is crucial
Groundtesting is not only a safety measure but also essential for the proper operation of some electrical
