Earth Resistance Measurements
(1663 and 1664 FC)
The earth resistance test is a 3-wire test that has two test stakes and the earth
electrode under test. This test requires an accessory stake kit. Connect as
shown in Figure 12.
Best accuracy is achieved with the middle stake at 62 % of the distance to
the far stake. The stakes should be in a straight line and wires separated to
avoid mutual coupling.
Disconnect the earth electrode under test from the electrical system as you
do the test. Do not measure Earth resistance on a live system.
