    The document discusses methods for measuring earth resistivity (ρ) and earth resistance. It explains that the Wenner 4-pole method involves applying an AC current between an earth electrode and current electrode to measure potential difference between two potential electrodes, from which earth resistance and resistivity can be calculated using provided formulas. It also describes sticking four auxiliary earth spikes in the ground at intervals to perform measurements and uses of different wire methods for precise measurements.

    Earth Resistivity () Principle of Earth Resistivity () Measurement According to the Wenner 4-pole method, apply AC current "I" between

    the "E" (earth electrode) and "H(C)" (current electrode) to find out the potential difference "V" between the two potential electrodes "S(P)" and "ES". To obtain the earth resistance "Rg ()", devide the potential difference "V" by AC current "I"; where the distance between electrodes is "a" (m). Then use the formula: = 2 a Rg ( m).

    Measurement method Stick the four Auxiliary Earth Spikes into the ground deeply. They should be aligned at an interval of 130m(a). The depth should be 5% or less of the interval between the spikes. The supplied Test Leads can be used for the distance between the spikes up to 20m.

    Earth Resistance Principle of Earth Resistance Measurement This instrument makes earth resistance measurements with fall-of-potential method, which is a method to obtain earth resistance value "Rx" by applying AC constant current "I" between the measurement object "E" (earth electrode) and "H(C)" (current electrode), and finding out the potential difference "V" between "E" (earth electrode) and "S(P)" (potential electrode).
