Ground Resistance Testing (real world experiment) with Mike Holt

Ground Resistance Testing (real world experiment)

with Mike Holt

 

This video is a must watch and very cool containing real world testing conducted by Mike Holt and electrical utility professional Joe Sims. It discusses how to measure ground resistance, touch voltage, and how a ground rod doesn’t help to clear a ground fault.

  • Great video. In your conclusion section at the end of the video I would ask that you point out that even at the resistance levels you were able to obtain, 120 volts to ground would still not trip a 15 amp breaker. While code requires 25 ohms or less, it takes 8 ohms or less to trip a 15 amp breaker and clear the fault hazard. Code compliance is necessary, but safety is also very important, and faults need to clear the hazard by tripping the breaker.
