Grounding System Testing to ensure Compliance with the National Electrical Code
Grounding system testing creates system persistence, protects personnel, reduces system heat, protects from surges and power drops, ensures proper performance of safety mechanisms, protects surge protectors, circuit breakers, and other components.
We conduct a series of tests including current injection test, earth ground resistance, and fall-of-potential tests.
The tests should be performed at either the installation of a new piece of equipment or at a major change, and on a routinely basis to better exercise the mechanical aspect of the system and to ensure the dependability of the safety functions. The tests are needed to confirm electrical continuity to ground and to ensure continuity and adequacy of the system.
