  How often should the grounding resistance be tested after the grounding rods are installed?

  Importance of Periodic Testing After Grounding Rod Installation Grounding systems play an essential role in electrical safety by directing fault currents safely into the earth, reducing risks associated with equipment damage, fire hazards, or electrical shock. After grounding rods are installed, the grounding resistance will vary over time due to soil conditions, moisture levels, corrosion, and structural changes around the installation site. The frequency of testing must therefore account for t...
