About Event

Join us for a live technical webinar on modelling the Fall of Potential (FOP) earthing grid impedance test using advanced software simulations. This session will provide you with valuable insights into enhancing the accuracy and reliability of earthing system measurements. In this free webinar, we'll explore:

  • The principles and limitations of the Fall of Potential method

  • The importance of accurate soil and earthing models in grid impedance testing

  • How software simulations can optimize test setups and predict results

We'll guide you through detailed case studies that demonstrate:

  • Simulating a 60m x 30m grid with vertical rods in a three-layer soil model

  • The impact of soil resistivity on the accuracy of the 61.8% rule

  • The effects of coupling between voltmeter and current generator leads in zero-degree and 90-degree tests

You'll learn practical techniques for:

  • Determining optimal current and voltage electrode placements

  • Interpreting apparent impedance plots

  • Mitigating common errors in FOP testing, such as lead coupling effects

This webinar will equip you with advanced knowledge to improve your earthing system designs and testing procedures. Whether you're an experienced engineer or new to earthing system analysis, you'll gain valuable insights into:

  • The limitations of traditional FOP testing methods

  • Alternative techniques like 90-degree tests for low-impedance systems

  • How to validate soil resistivity and earthing system models used in design phases

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of earthing system testing and simulation. Register now to secure your spot and learn how to ensure optimal earthing system performance through advanced modelling techniques!
