  2. Grounding resistance tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounding_resistance_tester

    The first soil resistance measuring instrument was invented in the 1950s by Evershed & Vignoles Meggers who made the first insulation and earth resistance testers. [2] One of the most used analog grounding testers in USSR were М416. [3] From the 21st century several companies produced digital earth resistance meters and testers.

  3. Electrical resistivity tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity...

    The method of measuring subsurface resistivity involves placing four electrodes in the ground in a line at equal spacing, applying a measured AC current to the outer two electrodes, and measuring the AC voltage between the inner two electrodes. A measured resistance is calculated by dividing the measured voltage by the measured current.

  4. Electrical resistance survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_survey

    Electrical resistance survey of an archaeological site using a twin probe system. In most systems, metal probes (electrodes) are inserted into the ground to obtain a reading of the local electrical resistance. A variety of probe configurations are used, most having four probes, often mounted on a rigid frame. In these systems, two of the probes ...

  5. Electrical safety testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_testing

    An insulation resistance test (IR test) measures the electrical resistance of insulation by applying a voltage between two locations, and measuring the resultant current flow. Proper safety precautions must be taken when doing this test, such as exclusion zones, making sure no wires are exposed, and personal protective equipment is worn.

  6. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The test method consists of pushing an instrumented cone, with the tip facing down, into the ground at a controlled rate (controlled between 1.5 -2.5 cm/s accepted). The resolution of the CPT in delineating stratigraphic layers is related to the size of the cone tip, with typical cone tips having a cross-sectional area of either 10 or 15 cm 2 ...

  7. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS 1289.6.3.1. The test provides samples for identification purposes and provides a measure of penetration resistance which can be used for geotechnical design ...

  8. Electrical isolation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_isolation_test

    In electrical engineering, an electrical isolation test is a direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) resistance test that is performed on sub-systems of an electronic system to verify that a specified level of isolation resistance is met. Isolation testing may also be conducted between one or more electrical circuits of the same ...

  9. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...
