Earth Ground Testing/ r$ W9 i3 X+ F& P5 T8 k
b$ J' x( S3 u4 E# M0 ?/ _, ZMost facilities have grounded electrical systems, so that in the event of a lightning strike or utility over voltage, current will find a safe path to earth. A ground electrode provides the contact between the electrical system and the earth. To ensure a reliable connection to earth, electrical codes, engineering standards, and local standards often specify a minimum impedance for the ground electrode. The International Electrical Testing Association specifies ground electrode testing every three years for a system in good condition with average up-time requirements.9 h5 p8 Q( a) F& H2 E; d
