Thanks

Thanks for your contribution sir.

Thanks

Thanks bro.

No please

Yeah, ideally the cable should be disconnected before the test.

Sure, if you get 0.5Ohm that's great. In this type of test, the lower the resistance value, the beter

Alright Seth, so there are two things: 1. Most of the time it has to do with the quality of the LED light. Poor quality LED lights behave like that. 2. Problem with the electrical circuit. *Make sure the neutral is NOT used as the switch wire **That could also happen as a result of small pick-up of electricity from a cable running along the LED light cables due to electromagnetic induction (we say leakage in simple terms) Note: *If you are not sure of the quality of your LED light (s) , replacing them with quality ones could solve the problem. If you are very sure you are using high quality LED lights and the problem is still there, then check the circuit (wiring) as I indicated above.

Well. There is an acceptable range but it differs from one jurisdiction to another. You have to refer to the electrical code of your country. Meanwhile, the lower the resistance to earth the better. You can even get as low as below 1ohm depending on the area and the type of soil Please contact me through WhatsApp. +2339323669

Refer to the electrical code of your country. Meanwhile, in most cases it should be of the same size as the supply cables

It depends on the water table of the area.

@@yahayamasanja1849 Earthing system design is based on results obtained from Wenner's 4 pole soil testing method. But as thumb rule we in India use 32 dia (nominal bore) GI pipe buried to a depth of 2.5 meter. This holds good for normal soil. The final result/value should be 5 or below. During summer pit has to be wetted by pouring water. This reduces the resistance. Here the earthing system is TT. We use RCCB for leakage fault. Mcb/fuse takes care of shorts and overloads. Hope this helps.

From the second rod please.

The supply authority earthing system is TT but I am using an Rcd (main) so it's okay

A multimeter can be used to perform certain types of earthing tests in a residential setting, but it's not ideal for measuring actual earth resistance.

This is helpful and education I'm going to encourage my fellow students to subscribe to this channel

@@noxmayondi6135 Wow! That's great to hear. Thanks

@@obloni_Electrical Thanks

@@obloni_Electrical Thanks for your response

In case there's a leakage in the circuit, you will pay more electricy Bill and a small leakage can also cause electrical shock etc.

Yeah, you will get it clear from my videos on earthing.

Earth resistance tester

it depends on several factors and there isn't a single "one size fits all" answer. 1. Local regulations: Different countries and regions have their own specific regulations governing minimum earth resistance values for electrical installations. These regulations often define the required range, sometimes referencing 5 ohms but not always. 2. Soil conditions: The conductivity of the soil where the earth/grounding electrode is installed significantly impacts resistance. Dry, rocky soil offers higher resistance than moist, clay-rich soil. All these factors will affect what you will call "normal ohms for earthing a residential home??" in a particular location. here are some general guidelines: Many countries and regions set a maximum allowable resistance, often ranging from 5 ohms to 25 ohms for residential buildings. However, lower values are always preferred for enhanced safety. Find the relevant electrical code or standard applicable in your area to determine the required earthing resistance value that is acceptable in your country/region If you are in Ghana, you can contact me for assistance.

@@obloni_Electrical Im not in ghana I wish u have tutorials online not only on youtube. Where we can interact with on video

@@JerryMartins-vh9vc Good idea. So I will plan and schedule a time for that. Thanks 👍

if there is a leakage in the wiring and the earthing is bad, your meter will read more. until there is a leakage in the wiring, earthing does not play a role in how your meter works

Thanks Anthony,

Dear the size of the Rod that is connect to green cable. What is?

@@waldirgavela please do you mean the length or the cros-sectional area?

Lol! No please

Please which country?

Kenya

Does it serve you better

@@engineermwaruwa.-mc3yy oh oh okay, you can get some at a local electrical shop. Though they are not common. You can also try shopping online.

@@engineermwaruwa.-mc3yy Sure, but there are equally better or even more better brands in terms of durability and robustness. Prices also vary from brand to brand.

Please contact me on WhatsApp at +233242809918

Please I don't understand what you mean. Kindly make your question more clear. Thanks

That depends highly on what the Electrical code of your local jurisdiction(or country) says. The IEE regulation says anything below 200 Ohms is okay. But Practically, you should be looking for a reading below 10 Ohms. with RCD protection (in a TT system). Note: the lower the better. if you can get 0.0 ...value that would be great.
