April 15, 2008 - Dr. Jerry V. Dollar, Chief Executive Officer of EnerisQ International, is quoted as stating, “Prior to the launch of this innovative technology, ground impedance measurements had to be performed using variations of the fall-of-potential method. This meant having to de-energize and isolate the ground system. With other tests, long lead wires need to be outside the sphere of influence leading to high interference levels. Smart Ground solves this dilemma by allowing for measurement of fully energized ground systems, using relatively short leads.”
The SGMT overcomes these common disadvantages and offers the following improvements: The software has algorithms that compensate for and correct outside noise and interference allowing it to be used on energized systems. Measurements are based on ground potential differences at six different points. Relatively short leads are required. The grounding system impedance is measured. Confidence levels are calculated by the software. The end result is a highly accurate test, interpreted through sophisticated software, delivering high confidence. Available concurrent tests include: Ground Impedance, Touch Voltage, Step Voltage, Soil Resistivity, Tower Ground Resistance, Ground Mat Impedance, Transfer Voltage, and Low Impedance Continuity.
