High-Current Method of Testing
Ground
Grid
Integrity
Tue conventional methods of
testing ground resistance, such as
with the earth megger, are not
adequate for successfully check-
ing the adequacy of ground sys-
tem connections. To understand
the objectives of the high-current
method of testing ground grid
integrity, it is appropriate to
briefly review the purpose of sub-
station grounding systems.
In principle, a safe grounding
system has two objectives: (1) to
provide means to carry electrical
currents into the earth under nor-
mal and fault conditions without
exceeding any operating and
equipment limits and (2) to assure
that a person in the vicinity of
grounded facilities is not exposed
to the danger of electric shock. A
practical approach to safe ground-
ing, therefore, involves the inter-
action of the intentional ground
(ie, substation grounding sys-
tem) and the accidental ground
temporarily established by a per-
son coming into contact with in-
adequately grounded equipment
or structure. The geometry, loca-
tion of ground electrodes, local

soil characteristics, and other fac-
tors are taken into consideration
when designing a substation
gtound system, This is done to
minimize the potential gradients
along the earth’s surface which
may endanger a person in the area
during ground fault conditions.
Several types of grounding sys-
tems are employed, depending on
the size of the substation. How-
ever, the purpose of all grounding
systems is to limit the effect of
ground potential gradients to
sucha level as to not endanger the
safety of people or damage equip-
ment under normal and fault con-
ditions. Typical grounding sys-
tems may consist of (1) a single-
point ground electrode (2). a
grounding grid or () a ground
mat.
A grounding grid or a ground
mat arrangement system is usu-
ally used for substations. These
ground-grid and ground-mat sys-
tems consist of horizontally inter-
connected hare conductors to the
vertically driven ground elec
trodes or ground plates. This net-
work of ground electrodes is bur-
ied ina soil of good conductivity,
providing an excellent grounding
system. The equipment neutrals,
frames, structures, and fault cur-
rent sources (such as surge ar-
restors, capacitor banks, etc.) are
then connected to this ground-
grid or ground-mat system.
Reasons For Testing
It is necessary to make ground
resistance and ground continuity
measurements in order to ensure
the initial capability of a newly in-
stalled ground system, and, there-
after, periodically verify its
adequacy. The purpose of these
tests is to ensure that a proper
ground system has been installed.
and is maintained throughout its
service life. The reason for having
a properly designed, installed,
and maintained grounding sys-
tem is to eliminate the shock haz-
ards and abnormal operating con-
ditions that may arise due to fault
currents. During fault conditions,
the earth becomes saturated by
currents emanating from the
ground grid and ground elec-
trodes buried below the earth's
surface. The resulting potential
gradients are proportional to the
magnitude of the grid current and

the resistance across the path of |
the ground current. The safe limits
for such potential gradients are
defined by means of the difference
in surface potential, such as step-
voltage and touch-voltage. To
ensure that there is a low-resis-
tance path for ground currents, all
accessible ground leads should be
inspected, and those that are bur-
ied under the earth’s surface
should be tested periodically.
There are no specific code re-
quirements for the testing of
grounding systems. However, the
standard for Electrical Safety Re-
quirements for Employee
Workplaces (NFPA 70E-1983, Part
L. Chapter 2, Section F, Item 4)
states that the path to ground from.

Also, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Stan-
dard 81-1983, Section 8.3, states
that the objective of testing the
integrity of the ground grid is to
determine whether the’ various
parts of the grid are inter-
connected with'a low-resistance
connection.
‘To meet the intent of the above
standards and OSHA. require-
ments, it is necessary to periodi-
cally perform ground resistance
and ground-grid integrity meas-
urement tests. The grounding sys-
temis not needed for proper func-
tioning of electrical power equip-
ment during normal operating
conditions. Therefore, the only
way to assess the integrity and
continuity ofa ground systemisto
perform periodic tests to ensure its
availability during fault condi-
| tions.
Measuring the Effectiveness of
| a Grounding System
‘Themostcommontest for theef-
fectiveness of a grounding system
{s to measure its overall resistance
to remote earth. The objective of
this test is to determine whether
} the actual resistance of a ground-
Figure 2— Connections and principle of an earth
ing system is less than or equal to
the resistance value as designed
and installed. Although this test
determines the overall grounding
system resistance, it does not as-
sess the integrity of individual
connections (i.e., whether the indi-
vidual equipment and structure
grounds are connected to the
ground grid or mat with low resis-
tance). The only way to measure
the integrity of the ground-grid
connections is to test each ground
connection one ata time.
1. Overall Ground Resistance
Measurements
Several methods are available
for determining overall ground
system resistance. The two meth-
ods that are most commonly
employed in making these meas-
urements are the Two-Point and
Fail-of-Potential methods.
Two-Point Method
With this method, the total resis-
tance of the unknown and a refer-
ence (known) ground is measured
using AC voltage. The connection
diagram for this test is shown inFEB-04-2006
06:00
eeu
Figure 1. The resistance of the
erence ground is presumed to be
negligible in comparison with the
resistance of the unknown
ground. This method is subject to
errors when used for measuring
the ground resistance of large suby
stations. However, this method is
quite useful and best employed
where a “go, no-go" type of test is
all that is required.
Fall-of-Potential Method
‘This method consists of inject-
ing a known AC current into the
ground system electrode to be
measured and then measuring the
voltage drop due to this current at
various distances from the ground
system electrode. The fall-of-po-
tential method requires plotting
the values of resistance as a func

and the principle of an earth-resis-
tance test is shown in Figure'2.
2. Ground-Grid Integrity
Measurement
The objective of this measure-
ment is to determine whether the
equipment, frame, structure, or
enclosure grounds are connected
with low resistance. The resis-
tance value of such connections is
expected to be below 100 micro-
ohms. The overall ground resis-
tance measurement as discussed
before, does not provide adequate
information for assessing the in-
tegrity of such connections. The
best method for making integrity-
of-ground-grid tests is to use a
large but practical current and
some means of detecting the volt-
age drop caused by this current.

High-Current Method
The high-current_ method of

Ge, ground-grid connections)
provides a reliable, accurate
method of detecting faulty
ground-grid connections. This
Consists of passing approximately
300 amperes through the ground
grid between a reference ground
(usually a transformer neutral)
and the ground to be tested. The
voltage drop and the current mag-
nitude and direction are moni-
tored to verify the integrity of the
ground connections.
‘Test Equipment Description
‘The test equipment consists of a
variable current source capable of
producing 300 amperes continu-
ously with 105KVA capability.
The test equipment output can be
controlled manually or can be
timed via an adjustable timer. The
test equipment requires a 50-am-
pere, 240 V AC power source. Test,
leads ranging from 10 to 100 feet of
2/0 welding cables can be in-
cluded as accessories.
Procedure For Conducting
The Test
The following procedure is out-
lined for performing ground-grid
integrity tests with the high-cur-
rent test set.
1. Establish a reference ground
point, preferably a transformer
neutral
2. From the high-current test
equipment, connect the one test
lead to the ground tobe tested and
the second lead to the reference
ground above grade but below
any bonding connections or
clamps (Figure 3).
3. Turn the test equipment on
and adjust it to pass 300 amperes
through the grid and between the
reference ground and the ground
being tested. The current should
be passed for at least 3 minutes.
4. Using a clip-on ammeter,
measure the test current flowing
into the reference ground below
the test lead (ie, into the grid) and
the current flowing above (ie.,
into the equipment, structure,
frame, etc.). Measure the test cur-
rent flowing in the ground being
tested below the test lead (ie,
from the grid) and above the test

‘Measurement Before The Test Hook-Up
1. Current in transformer neutral (oference) ~ 82 amperes
2. Current in frame ground = None
3. Distance between reference ground and frame ground =
100 feet
4. Voltage drop of the test leads with 300 amperes = 75 volts

2. Current flow in the reference ground to TOO) = 50 amperes
3. Current in the frame ground from the grid = 25 amperes
4 Current flowin the frame ground from the structure = 280
5. Voltage reading at the test set meter = 15.6 volts
Evaluation of TestResults
1. The current via the grid to the frame ground is only
25 amperes, .c,, much less than the 150
amperes criterion.
2. Voltage drop in the ground circuitis 8.1 volts (.e.,
156 volt -7.5 volts) for a 100 foot dis-
tance. This does not meet the 15 volt
criterion for a 50 foot distance.
Conclusion: Based upon the above test data, it was
determined that the ground connections
are faulty.
NOTE: This ground was dug up and found to be
ly connected.

Jead (Le, from the frame, struc-
ture, etc.) on the ground being
tested. The clip-on ammeter posi-
tions for these locationsareshown
in Figure 3. The purpose of the
clip-on ammeter readings is to
determine the magnitude and di-
rection of current flowing in the
ground-grid circuit and the cur-
ent flowing in the foundations,
enclosures, frames, etc.
5. Record the voltage drop read-
ing. and the currents measured in
Item 4.
6. Alter the test is completed,
disconnect the test leads, short the
two test leads, and pass 300 am-
es for 3 minutes. Record the
voltage drop of the leads.
‘Guidelines For Evaluation
of Test Data
1. The desired voltage drop of
the ground path being. tested
should be approximately 1.5 valts
for each 50 feet of straight line
distance tested for indication of
good connections. This voltage
value is obtained by subtracting
the leads voltage drop from the
voltage value recorded during the
test.
2. On substations with single
grounds (ie, not ground-grid or
mat), at least 200 amperes should
flow back to the test source via the
ground path to the ground under
test to indicate good connections.
In most cases, approximately 300
amperes will flow back via the
grid. However, in certain cases,
some current is expected to flow
back to the ground under test via
the equipment structure, founda-
tion connections, etc.
3. On substations with multi-
grounds (ie, ground grids or
mats, at least half (ie, 150 am-
peres) of the test current should
return to the test source via the
grid to the ground undertest. Ifthe
Current istess than half (regardless
of the 1.5 volt drop for the 50 foot
criterion) it indicates a potential
bad ground connection.
4. "The suspected bad ground
should be dug up and the connec-
tions reworked. After repair of the
bad connections, the ground
should be retested.
5. All grounded points in the
substation should be tested one at
a time to assess their integrity (ie,
ood ground connections should
iave low resistance).
Examples of Test Data and
Results,
To help explain the evaluation
of test data, results from two re-
cently conducted tests are pre-
sented. Test No. 1 comprises data
which indicated a good ground
connection, whereas Test No. 2
comprises data which indicated a
faulty ground connection. Since
the ground connections to the
ground grid are buried below the
earth, it is not easy to determine
the integrity of these connections.
The faulty connections (as found
in Test No. 2) may have gone un-
detected without indication from
such tests (since the ground-grid
resistance tests checked okay) and
could have compromised ground
integrity. The evaluation of test
results of the high-current method
is easy and straightforward, as il-
lustrated by these two examples.
The connection for the two test
examples are shown in Figures 4
and 5.
Safety Precautions
1. Personnel operating the high-
current test leads should always
wear safety gloves.
2, No grounds should be re-
moved from theequipment unless
a second ground is provided.
Conclusion
Measurement of ground resis-
tance and the integrity of the
ground grid are necessary to ver-
ify the adequacy ofa new ground-
ing system and to detect changes
in an existing grounding system
and to detect changes in an exist-
ing grounding system. The tech-
niques for measuring the overall
resistance of new or existing
ground systems are well estab-
lished and understood. However,
the need and the methods for as-
sessing the integrity of ground-
grid connections are not that well
established or understood. The
aim of this article is to bring atten-
tion to this very important aspect,
of grounding system verification
and the need for conducting this
verification test periodically. A
new method and equipment are
now available to conduct the
ground-grid integrity tests dis-
cussed. These tests should be con-
ducted along with other sched-
uled maintenance tests to deter-
mine the safe limits for people and
equipment during normal and
fault conditions at substations and
other electrical power facilities.
