Can earth resistance be measured without connecting the
earth electrode?
and should earthing connections be disconnected
What is the effect of connecting two cables of different
sizes in parallel with supply?
Thanks in Advance.
I am intrested to get in touch with some
tecnocrats/engineers,my mail i.d is :

If you want to measure ER of particular electrode ,you have
to disconnect it , to avoid the influence of other electrode
connected to the same equipment.If the cables are connected
in parallel ,the load sharing is inverse to the resistances
of cables so that the voltage drops in the cables are equal

During Testing of Maintenance Free Earthing, How deep should be the Spikes of Earth Test Meter should be inserted in the soil(one spike is 15 Meter & Other spike is 30 Mtrs away from the Main Earth Electrode. Because, recently, we observed that when spike is inserted 3-4 Inch in the earth- results are better, If spike is inserted 1 feet deep than results are increasing.
