    The document discusses theoretical background on resistance curves measured using a potential probe and current probe for a ground electrode. It describes how insufficient spacing between the probes can impact resistance measurements and notes two primary purposes of test methods: to verify correct probe spacing for reliable results and provide shortcuts to reduce testing time. Finally, it lists several common ground testing methods.
