4. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING SYSTEM TESTING CRITERIA

a. Grounding Testing Procedures

i. This section describes grounding system testing procedures.

ii. These tests should be performed when the site ground system can be safely disconnected from the power company neutral wire.

b. Overview

i. Testing will be performed using one of the three methods which are described as follows:

1. Three-Point / Fall of Potential Testing

This method is the most widely accepted. However, performing the test may require access to areas that may be beyond the site property lines. When testing a grounding electrode system consisting of a multi-bonded/ multi-grounding electrode system, the distance required for testing is directly related to the effective diagonal distance of the buried grounding electrode system.

2. Clamp-on Ohmmeter

This method shall be used when access to necessary space needed for the Three-point/Fall of Potential test is not available. However, the clamp-on Ohmmeter test can only be performed after AC utilities have been connected to the site and various feed conductors are accessible.

3. Combined Soil Resistivity Testing with Clamp-on Ohmmeter Testing

This method shall only be used in special cases where three-point/fall of potential testing or clamp-on ohmmeter testing cannot directly provide a suitable evaluation. The data obtained from soil resistivity testing and clamp-on ohmmeter testing is then used by an engineering firm specializing in grounding electrode system design to make determinations regarding the grounding electrode system.

c. Limitations to Performance Testing

i. The following conditions must be met in order to perform grounding electrode system testing:

1. Three-point/fall of potential testing is possible only if the following conditions can be met:

A. Sufficient land area must be available to perform a three point/ fall-of-potential test. The reference probe may likely need to be inserted into soil that is beyond the site property line. Testing using a clamp-on ohmmeter may be an option in these cases.

B. The grounding electrode system must be able to be isolated from the power company grounded conductor (may be a neutral wire).

2. Clamp-on Ohmmeter testing is possible only if the following conditions can be et:

A. Site must be supplied with commercial power company-provided power.

B. Neutral wire must be present as part of the power company service.

C. Neutral wire must be part of an extensive power company grounding system.

In systems such as 3-phase delta service, the neutral wire may not be part of the extensive power company grounding system.

D. The grounding electrode system must be connected to the power company grounded conductor (may be a neutral wire).

E. For sites using a multi-bonded/multi-grounding electrode system, a point on neutral wire for meter to clamp onto must be available before its first bond to the site.

F. For single grounding electrode system, the grounding electrode conductor must be accessible for meter to clamp onto at a point between the grounding electrode and any other connection (such as the Telephone Company grounding or metallic pipe).

3. Combined Soil Resistivity/Clamp-on Ohmmeter testing is possible only if the following conditions can be met:

A. System must be such that gathering of individual grounding electrode system component values with a clamp-on-ohmmeter can be available.

B. A soil resistivity profile for the site has been performed.

b. If these conditions cannot be met, an added supplemental grounding electrode system can be installed. This supplemental grounding electrode system could be installed and tested prior to its connection to the existing system. This supplemental system should be installed in such a manner as to allow an easy disconnect point for future testing.

d. Three Point / Fall of Potential Test Procedure

The three point/fall of potential test is the most widely accepted and recommended test method. This procedure is described in detail in ANSI/IEEE STD 81.2.

In the three point/fall of potential test, two test rods are driven into the soil. These rods are placed in a straight line from an electrode in the grounding electrode system to be tested (referred to here as connection 'X'). One of the test rods (referred to here as rod 'Z') is placed at a known distance from the 'X' connection. The other test rod (referred to here as rod 'Y') is placed at various distances between the 'x' connection and rod 'Z', a potential difference (voltage drop) will exist between the 'x' connection and rod Y. The fall of potential tester measures the voltage drop between the 'X' connection and rod 'Y', and converts the measurement to a resistance reading using Ohm's Law (R=E/I). In this manner, the resistance at any point between 'x' connection and rod 'z' can be measured.

The multiple readings obtained during this test are entered and plotted as data points on a graph. From the graph, the resistance of the grounding electrode system can be determined.

This test requires disconnection of the site grounding electrode system from the power company grounded conductor, and the disconnection of all other grounds that may be connected to the site grounding system, such as telecommunications system grounds.

This is required in order to allow testing that is limited only to the site grounding electrode system. Attempting to perform measurements while the site remains connected to the extensive ground/neutral system of the power company and telecommunications utilities artificially enhances the grounding electrode system reading, resulting in measurement error.

e. Clamp-On Ohmmeter Testing Procedure

The clamp-on ohmmeter test can be performed on both single grounding electrode and multi-grounding electrode systems. However, the test can only be accurately performed on a site supplied by commercial power.

NOTE: if the electrical service provided by the power company does not contain a neutral wire that is bonded to the extensive power company ground system (such as a three-phase delta service), the clamp-on ohmmeter will not give an accurate reading. In these cases, this is because the neutral wire is locally derived at the transformer and is not part of the extensive power company grounding system; therefore, it cannot provide an effective low resistance return path.

The clamp-on ohmmeter works on the basis of injecting a known voltage into the grounding electrode system in order to create a current flow whose value is a function of the grounding electrode system resistance. The test current flows from the grounding electrode system through the earth, returning to the grounding electrode system via the power company's multi-grounded neutral wire. The meter then measures this current and converts the measurement to a resistance reading using Ohm's Law (R=E/I). As such, the meter displays a resistance of the grounding electrode system in ohms. Since the power company's grounding system is so extensive, the meter considers it to be of negligible value and disregards its effect on the reading.

This test requires disconnection of the site utility power. This is required in order to allow testing that is limited only to site grounding system. Attempting to perform measurements while the site remains connected to the utility's extensive grounding/neutral system artificially enhances ground readings that result in measurement error.

f. Combined Soil Resistivity Testing with Clamp-On Ohmmeter

Providing site soil resistivity readings along with clamp-on ohmmeter readings is at times the only method available for grounding electrode system resistance verification.

This test can be performed in the energized state where the grounding connections are accessible. Once the external grounding electrode system has been verified, the internal system can then be tested.

This test will verify only the conductivity to the main ground buss of the commercial power system. This test will not confirm the status to the exterior grounding electrode system or fall of potential.

The internal system should be visually inspected and made free of defects prior to testing.

Never disconnect any part of the grounding system while in operation. Once visual inspection has been made, a digital low resistance measurement will be made between all bolted/compressed connections and between bolted/compressed connections to enclosures. All bolted connections should be torque to NETA specifications, then retested with a digital low resistance meter. These readings should be documented in a format so that connectivity and conductivity of the grounding electrode system can be demonstrated. External grounding electrode system test procedures are performed in the de-energized state.

Internal grounding electrode system test procedures can be performed in the de-energized or energized state.

g. Recommended Changes to VHA Directive 1028

The current VHA Directive 1028 grounding testing requirement is, "Inspect and tighten ground connections. Test ground resistance for the entire facility grounding system."

It is suggested that the following criteria be added to VHA Directive 1028:

i. Perform visual inspection for bonding conductor and equipment grounding conductor condition, continuity, and termination. Correct any defects.

ii. Perform soil resistivity tests in several locations (if fall-of-potential test method is to be used).

iii. After visual inspection and correction of defects is complete, use a digital low resistance meter to measure resistance between all bolted/compressed connections and between bolted/compressed connections to enclosures. All bolted connections will be torqued to NETA specifications, then retested. These readings shall be documented in a format so that connectivity and conductivity can be calculated as to the effectiveness of the grounding electrode system through-out the systems.

iv. Ground resistance tests shall be performed using fall-of-potential method or calibrated clamp-on ground resistance tester.
