    The document summarizes how to measure ground resistance using an earth tester kit. It explains that an earth tester allows measuring ground resistance and detecting parasitic voltages. Readings were taken of the ground resistance at different locations, finding it was lowest when one rod was in moisture and the other in soil, and highest when both rods were in moisture. The conclusion is that ground resistance varies depending on the conditions where measurements are taken.

    TITLE: MEASURING THE GROUND RESISTANCE BY USING EARTH TESTER


    TOOLS: Earth tester kit Rod 10mm under ground EARTH TESTER: Earth Meter allows to measure the earth resistance and ground resistivity as well as to detect parasitic voltages present in the ground. This instrument is well suitable to measure earth systems in power substations, industries, distribution networks, etc.

    READINGS: Rg =0.30(pannal) Rg =0.17(moisture) Rg =1.68(both moisture) CONCLUSION: the ground resistance reduces when one rod is in moisture and other in sand or soil. When both point of the tester are in the moisture then the resistance increases. At different places of earth we find the different readings of the earth taster.
