What is the fall of potential standard?
When performing the earth resistance measurement with the Fall of Potential (FoP) method you have to put the measurement S probe on a distance of 61,8% of the distance between the centre E of the tested earthing system and the auxiliary test probe H.
What is the fall of potential method of testing used to measure?
The fall-of-potential grounding test is typically performed after the grounding protection system has been designed and implemented in order to tell you the grounding grid resistance value, which will indicate whether or not the ground has been installed correctly (and whether or not it meets the National Electric Code
What is a fall potential test?
The fall-of-potential method consists (shown in Figure 1) of circulating AC or DC current between the electrode under test (electrode 1) and a fixed electrode (electrode 2), and measuring the voltage drop between electrode 1 and a movable electrode (electrode 3).
What is the distance for the fall of potential test?
The 3-point method, called the fall of potential method, comprises the ground electrode to be measured and two other electrically independent test electrodes, usually labelled P (Potential) and C (Current).
