Earth electrode installation: questions and answers
Can an electrode position be selected just for convenience?
No. Ground conditions, buried services, access and the required electrical performance affect the design and location.
Can an earth rod be placed wherever there is spare ground?
Location needs assessment for buried services, ground conditions and the system design. The completed arrangement also needs testing.
What affects the quotation for earth electrode installation?
Access, conductor routes, the supply arrangement and verification work affect the quotation. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
