The purpose of carrying out an installation resistance test on an electrical installation is to verify that the earthing system and protective conductor connections are effective at providing a low-impedance path to the earth. This test is typically performed after the installation is complete to ensure that the earthing system is properly installed and functioning as intended.
An installation resistance test measures the resistance between the earth electrode and the electrical installation. A low resistance indicates a good connection between the earth electrode and the installation, while a high resistance may indicate a problem with the earthing system or protective conductor connections.
There are several reasons why it is important to ensure that the earthing system has a low resistance:
