Problems of measurement and evaluation of earth resistance

This work deals with the measurement of earth resistance, definition, substances causing earth conductivity, basic norms for carrying out grounding revisions and effect of earth resistance on securing and protection element. In the introduction there is theoretical analyzing of grounding issue and principles for the measurement of parameters, which are important for the protection of persons and animals in order not to touch exposed conductive part accidentally, protection of equipment against high fault current and dangerous surges while the correct function of the connected electrical equipment. In the next part there are described methods of earth resistance and soil resistivity measuring. The practical part of the work summarizes the results of practical measurements in individual places with different measuring device
