So although the Ground system when initially installed, had low Earth Ground Resistance values, the Resistance of the grounding system can increase if the Ground rods are eaten testers, like the fluke 1623 and 1625, are indispensable troubleshooting tools to help you maintain uptime. With frustrating, intermittent electrical problems, the problem could be related to poor grounding or poor power quality. That is why it is highly recommended that all grounds and Ground connections are checked at least annually as a part of your normal Pre-dictive Maintenance plan. During these periodic checks, if an increase in Resistance of more than 20 % is measured, the technician should investigate the source of the problem, and make the correction to lower the Resistance , by replacing or adding Ground rods to the Ground is a Ground and what does it do?
