Agenda • Why Earth/Ground Test? • Earth/Ground Testing at a glance • Where DET2/3 fits in the range • Voice of Customer • Target Market & Applications • Technical Details • Features & Benefits • How to sell & Likely Objections • Competitive Comparisons • Summary
Why Earth/Ground Test? • A low earth resistance is required to: • Enable protective devices to operate in good time. • Reduce ground potential rises (GPR). • Minimise the energy of electric shock from GPR during fault: • Step potential. • Touch potential. • Adjacent conductors. • Two types of testing • Soil resistivity: to help design electrical systems • Electrode & Earth resistance: to ensure compliance Safety Design
Earth Testing at a Glance • Many test methods to: • Characterise soil • Check resistance between a system & soil • All tests must set: • Test signal power (V & I) • Test signal frequency • Test Frequency setting is a balance between avoiding noise and getting good soil penetration
Installed Earth System • Systems must be checked regularly • Large systems must have very low resistances <90mΩ • Noisy readings are common in built up areas
Most Common Test Method • Fall of Potential Test • For measuring resistance between an installed system and the soil • Auxiliary current probe must be placed far outside zone of influence • Several readings are taken to build the graph and determine the true resistance
