Earth Electrode Test Sheet: No 8b, Down Town Road 7, P.O.Box 28, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia

This document is a test sheet for earth electrode testing. It contains sections for project information, system specification, inspection items to check, electrode resistance measurements and requirements, and testing methods. Electrodes must have a resistance of less than 100 ohms when tested individually, and a collective resistance when all are connected. Test values above 200 ohms indicate an unstable electrode and 20 ohms is the maximum allowable value.

C METHOD

The average of the three readings is taken as the electrodes resistance as long as all three readings are within 5% of one
another. If they exceed 5% the test must be repeated with the distance of test and auxiliary electrodes increased.
Electrodes that exceed a test value of 200Ω are prone to being unstable and a value of 20Ω is often quoted as being the
maximum allowable value. It should be noted that the maximum theoretical value is 1666W. This comes from ohm’s law,
where an installation relying on an electrode is provided with supplementary protection by a 30mA RCD.
50V ¸ 0.03A = 1666Ω ( maximum touch voltage is 50V )
