What does “grounding” mean?
Grounding means making an electrical connection between an electrical device or a building and the earth underfoot. Properly grounding equipment and buildings helps ensure safety by preventing electric shock and related accidents. It also helps prevent the occurrence of har-monics, equipment malfunctions, power outages, and other issues with power supply quality. During installation and maintenance, it's critical to make sure the ground resistance values of your grounding equipment conform to the values specified by applicable laws and standards

4-pole method
Measure soil resistivity when surveying a grounding design
Soil resistivity is measured as part of the grounding design process in advance of building design. Soil resistivity vary with each site's geo- logical properties. In this process, optimal ground locations as well as grounding electrode shapes, dimensions, and other characteristics are designed based on the assessment of soil resistivity.
MEC function
Measure ground resistance without disconnecting ground electrodes
This function augments the 3-pole method with current measure- ment using a clamp sensor. By measuring only current flowing to the grounding electrode you want to measure, you can avoid the effects of other grounds. This capability can significantly reduce man-hours spent on measurement work.
