Earthing testing and earth resistance reports

A good earth is invisible until a fault or lightning strike, then it is the only thing between you and a shock. We test, report and repair earthing systems for homes, factories, substations and solar sites — ujian pembumian with calibrated instruments and a written report.

Tests we carry out

Measure it, do not assume it

Earth resistance

Rintangan bumi

  • Earth electrode resistance by fall-of-potential method, with results recorded per electrode and for the whole system.
  • Clamp-type earth testing where electrodes cannot be disconnected.
  • Soil resistivity (Wenner method) for new installations, solar farms and lightning protection design.
  • Comparison against the design requirement for the type of installation, not a single generic figure.

Circuit and protection tests

Ujian litar

  • Earth-loop impedance to confirm breakers will disconnect quickly enough in a fault.
  • RCD and ELCB trip time and trip current tests.
  • Continuity of protective conductors and equipotential bonding.
  • Insulation resistance on cables and equipment.

Reporting and remediation

Laporan & pembaikan

  • Written test report with instrument details, readings, pass or fail status and photos.
  • Diagram showing electrode and test-point locations.
  • Earth pit repair, extra rods, chemical earthing and re-bonding where results are poor.
  • Retest after remediation to prove the improvement.

How we work

From survey to handover

STEP 1

Scope and access

We identify earth electrodes, test points and any disconnection needed for safe testing.

STEP 2

Testing

Calibrated instruments measure resistance, impedance, continuity and RCD operation.

STEP 3

Report

Results issued in a clear report with readings, status and recommendations.

STEP 4

Remediate and retest

Where readings are poor, we repair or improve the earthing and retest it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What earth resistance value is acceptable?
The acceptable value depends on the installation type, the protective device and the design requirement. We report against the applicable requirement for your site rather than a single number, and tell you plainly where improvement is needed.
Why test earthing if nothing seems wrong?
Earth electrodes corrode, dry out and get disturbed by civil work. A poor earth often shows no symptoms until a fault or lightning strike makes it dangerous.
How often should earthing be tested?
Many sites test annually, or after major construction, lightning events or solar and EV installation. We recommend an interval based on your installation and risk.
Can you improve a poor earth?
Yes. Options include extra earth rods, deeper electrodes, bentonite or chemical earthing compounds and better bonding. We retest after the work.
Do you test RCDs and ELCBs too?
Yes. We test trip current and trip time and recommend replacement of devices that fail to operate correctly.
