VIII. Measuring Principle
8.1 Principle of Clamp Method Resistance Measurement
The basic principle of the clamp ground resistance meter to measure the ground resistance
is to measure the loop resistance.See below. The jaw part of the clamp meter is composed of a
voltage coil and a current coil.The voltage coil provides an excitation signal and induces a
potential V on the circuit under test.Under the action of the potential V, a current I will be generated
in the circuit under test.The clamp meter measures I and calculates the measured resistance R.
8.2 Three-four-wire method measurement principle
The three-wire four-wire method measures grounding resistance, which is suitable for
accurately measuring single-point grounding systems.That is, the AC rated current I flows
between the measuring object E ground electrode and the H current electrode, the potential
difference V between the E ground electrode and the S voltage electrode is calculated, and the
ground resistance value R is calculated according to the formula R=V/I.In order to ensure the
accuracy of the test, the 4-wire method is adopted and the ES auxiliary ground electrode is added.
In the actual test, ES and E are clamped on the same point of the grounding body.
8.3 Selection method measurement principle
The selection method is used to measure the grounding resistance value, which is suitable

- 9 -
for measuring the grounding resistance value of one of the parallel grounding systems without
tripping.An alternating current I is applied between the ground electrode of Re1 Re2 Re3 and the
current electrode of H, the current I3 flowing through Re3 is measured by the current clamp A,
and the potential difference V between the ground electrode of Re3 and the voltage electrode of
S is measured at the same time, and according to the formula Re3= V/I3 calculates the grounding
resistance value Re3.In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, the 4-wire method is adopted
and the ES auxiliary ground electrode is added. In the actual test, ES and E are clamped on the
same point of the grounding body.
8.4 Principle of Soil Resistivity Measurement
The soil resistivity (ρ) is measured by the 4-pole method (Winner method):The alternating
current I flows between the E ground electrode and the H current electrode, find the potential
difference V between the S voltage electrode and the ES auxiliary ground electrode,The potential
difference V is divided by the alternating current I to get the resistance value R at the middle two
points, the electrode spacing distance is a(m), according to the formula ρ=2πaR(Ωm) to get the
value of soil resistivity, the distance between HS and S-ES When equal (both are a), it is Winner's
method.For the convenience of calculation, please make the electrode spacing a far greater than
the buried depth h. Generally, a>20h should be satisfied, as shown in the figure below.
8.5 Working error principle
Among the above methods, the working error (B) is the error obtained within the rated working
conditions, which is calculated from the inherent error (A) and variable error (Ei) of the instrument.
A: Inherent error
E2:Changes caused by changes in power supply voltage
E3: Changes caused by temperature changes

XII. Field Application

!
Multi-point grounding system
For multi-point grounding systems (such as power transmission system tower grounding,
communication cable grounding systems, certain buildings, etc.), they are connected by
overhead ground wires (the shielding layer of communication cables) to form a grounding
system. See below. When measuring with a clamp meter, its equivalent circuit is as follows:
R1 is the predicted grounding resistance.
R0 is the equivalent resistance of the grounding resistance of all other towers in parallel.
Although, from the strict grounding theory, due to the existence of the so-called "mutual
resistance", R0 is not a parallel value in the usual electronic technical sense (it will be slightly
larger than the parallel value in the electronic technical sense), but, Since the grounding
hemisphere of each tower is much smaller than the distance between the towers, and after all,
the number of grounding points is large, R0 is much smaller than R1. Therefore, it is reasonable
to assume R0=0 from an engineering perspective. In this way, the resistance we measured
should be R1.
Several comparative experiments with traditional methods under different environments and
different occasions prove that the above assumptions are completely reasonable.
2
!
Limited point grounding system
This situation is also more common. For example, some poles and towers are connected to
each other by overhead ground wires; for example, the grounding of some buildings is not an
independent grounding network, but several grounding bodies are connected to each other
through wires.
In this case, if R0 in the above figure is regarded as 0, it will bring a large error to the
measurement result.
For the same reason as above, we ignore the influence of mutual resistance, and calculate
the equivalent resistance after the parallel connection of the grounding resistance in the usual
sense. In this way, for a grounding system with N (N is small, but greater than 2) grounding
bodies, N equations can be listed:
T
N
R
RRR
R2
31
21
......
11
1=
+++
+

- 15 -
R1, R2,...RN are the grounding resistances of N grounding bodies we require.
R1T, R2T,...RNT are the resistances measured on each grounding branch with clamp meter.
This is a nonlinear equation system with N unknowns and N equations. It has a definite solution,
but it is very difficult to solve it manually, even impossible when N is large. To this end, please
purchase our company’s limited point grounding system solution program software, and users
can use office computers or laptop computers for machine solution. In principle, in addition to
ignoring the mutual resistance, this method does not have the measurement error caused by
ignoring R0. However, the user needs to pay attention to: In your grounding system, if there are
several grounding bodies connected to each other, you must measure the same number of test
values for the program to solve, not more or less. The program also outputs the same number of
ground resistance values
2
!
Single point grounding system
From the principle of testing, the clamp meter can only measure loop resistance, but cannot
measure single-point grounding. However, users can use a test wire and a ground electrode near
the grounding system to artificially create a loop for testing. The following introduces two methods
for measuring single-point grounding with a clamp meter. This method can be applied to
occasions where the traditional voltage-current method cannot be tested.
⑴!
Two-point method
As shown in the figure below, find an independent grounding body RB with good grounding
near the tested grounding body RA (such as nearby water pipes, buildings, etc.). Connect RA and
RB with a test wire.
Because the resistance measured by the clamp meter is the series value of two grounding
resistances and the resistance of the test line.
RT=RA+RB+RL
RT is the resistance measured by the clamp meter.
RL is the resistance of the test line
Therefore, if the measured value of the clamp meter is less than the allowable value of
grounding resistance, then the grounding resistance of the two grounding bodies is qualified.
⑵!
Three-point method
As shown in the figure below, find two independent grounding bodies RB and RC near the
tested grounding body RA.
The first step is to connect RA and RB with a test line, as shown in the figure below. Use the
clamp meter to read the first data R1.

RRR

- 16 -
The second step is to connect RB and RC, as shown in the figure below. Use the clamp
meter to read the second data R2.
The third step is to connect RC and RA, as shown in the figure below. Use the clamp meter
to read the third data R3.
In the above three steps, the readings measured in each step are the series value of two
grounding resistances. In this way, you can easily calculate each ground resistance value:
because of: R1=RA+RB R2=RB+RC R3=RC+RA
So: RA=(R1+R3-R2)÷2
This is the ground resistance value of the grounding body RA. In order to facilitate the
memorization of the above formula, the three grounding bodies can be regarded as a triangle,
and the measured resistance is equal to the adjacent side resistance plus the opposite side
resistance divided by 2.
