  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...

  What safety precautions are required when performing exothermic welding?

  Understanding the Risks in Exothermic WeldingExothermic welding is a chemical-based joining process that uses a highly exothermic reaction to fuse metals together, often applied in grounding, bonding, and electrical connections. Because the process involves molten metal, intense heat, and chemical powders, it presents several safety risks if not handled properly. Operators must be aware of hazards such as burns, fire, toxic fumes, and chemical exposure. A structured safety plan helps reduce thes...
