American
Testco, Inc. offers Ground Resistance
Testing for customers who desire information
about a potential or existing ground field.
All tests are performed in accordance with
ASTM & IEEE standards.
This program
includes a comprehensive data package that
provides you with all field data and graphic
depictions of test results.
-
4pt Soil
Resistivity Test
The purpose
of this test is to determine the electrical
conductivity properties of the soil. Based
on the test data, a suitable earth electrode
grounding system can be designed to meet the
requirements of the communications structure
to adequately dissipate lightning
transients.
-
3pt Earth
Resistance (Fall of Potential) Test
The purpose
of this test is to determine the interaction
of an existing buried ground ring and the
surrounding earth. The recorded values are
in ohms, with readings of 5 ohms or less
being generally accepted as adequate.
-
Digital
Clamp-On Resistance Test
The purpose
of this test is to determine the quality of
the connection between the cell site
grounding system and the grounding system of
either the existing building or previously
bonded site. |
