Fall-of-potential

A ground-resistance test method that is awkward on a CEE because the electrode is tied into the structure

Used across 4 Anvilfield field guides, most in Electrical.

Also defined as

  • Datacenter: The 3-point method that drives current and walks a potential probe to find true earth resistance
  • A ground-resistance test that injects current and reads the flat spot in the potential curve
