Process Constraint Corrective Measures Point 1 : At Start, all participants for Grounding
Resistance Test are present. Earth Resistance
(1) Tester
Start
Point 2 : Test instrument, reference drawings and
Test Forms should be available.

(2) Point 3 : Verify that the earth spike P & C are

Tester ,Dwg. properly driven and the wires probes are
and Forms separately connected. E
P
Inspect the distance of Electrodes E , P & C
C and ensure that they are 5~10 meters
(3) apart.
Verification
and Inspection Point 4 : Check battery and select X 100 range.
This is the initial setting of Earth Tester
since the actual reading is unpredictable.
(4) Grounding Resistance Test
Check Tester then Form ( FM / OPR - E002)
set the range to
maximum setting
Point 5 : Connect the test probe ( Green, Yellow
,Red) to Earth Resistance Tester .
(5) Measure the

reading.
Point 6 : Check the reading : If >5 not good ;If
If Result >5 (A) 5 good.
(6) Test Trace the caused

Point 7 : Record the test result to Test Form ( FM /
Result 5 Result Good OPR-E002 ) and keep as final after signed
by respective attending parties.

Point A : Trace the caused of high ground
Finished resistance.
Point B Drive additional rod if necessary then
connect to the object electrode being
tested as a network to reduce the
resistance reading then check again the
ground resistance.
