Earthing systems are designed to provide a safe path for electrical energy to flow to the ground. However, over time, these systems can be affected by corrosion, which can compromise their ability to perform as intended. Corrosion can lead to a variety of issues, including increased ground resistance, reduced system...
Ground resistance is a critical factor in the design and installation of any earthing system. It is the measure of how well an earthing system can dissipate electrical energy to the ground. The lower the ground resistance, the better the earthing system’s ability to protect people and equipment from electrical...
