Safeguard Your Electrical Systems with Reliable Earthing Solutions

A well-engineered earthing system is essential for protecting electrical installations from the dangers of fault currents. Sigma Power Services (SPS) delivers industry-leading earthing design, testing, and assessment services to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and infrastructure.

Proper earthing mitigates electrical faults, reduces equipment damage, and prevents injury by directing fault currents safely to the ground. Our advanced testing and modelling services provide clients with the assurance that their earthing systems are robust, compliant, and capable of withstanding potential hazards.

Comprehensive Earthing Testing and Analysis

At SPS, we utilise cutting-edge tools and methodologies to evaluate, enhance, and certify earthing systems for all types of electrical installations.

Key Earthing Testing Services Include:
  • Earth Grid Impedance Testing: Measures grid impedance to ensure the system’s ability to dissipate fault currents effectively

  • Step and Touch Potential Analysis: Assesses voltage gradients around the installation, safeguarding personnel from electrical shock hazards

  • Earth Potential Rise (EPR) Assessment: Evaluates voltage rise during fault conditions to prevent hazardous potential differences

  • Soil Resistivity Testing and Modelling: Determines soil characteristics to design effective grounding systems tailored to site-specific conditions

  • Earth Continuity Testing: Confirms the integrity of grounding connections, ensuring fault currents follow the intended path

  • Off Grid Current Injection Testing: Simulates fault conditions to measure the performance of remote earthing systems

  • Fall of Potential Testing: Accurately measures ground resistance, validating overall earthing system performance

  • Earth System Assessment: Comprehensive evaluations that provide a holistic review of earthing structures, identifying areas for improvement

Earth Testing FAQ’s

A well-designed earthing system is crucial to prevent dangers associated with fault currents. It ensures the safety of both personnel and equipment by providing a controlled path for electrical faults, reducing risks like electric shock, equipment damage, and fire.

SPS offers comprehensive testing services, including Earth Grid Impedance evaluation, Step and Touch Potential analyses, Earth Potential Rise assessment, Soil Resistivity Testing and Modelling, Earth Continuity tests, Off Grid Current Injection tests, Fall of Potential tests, and a thorough Earth System Assessment.

Soil Resistivity Testing provides insights into the soil’s electrical properties, which are vital for designing an efficient and effective earthing system. Understanding soil resistivity helps optimize system performance and ensures safety compliance.

SPS combines advanced testing methods and expert analyses to assess every aspect of the earthing system. From impedance measurements to potential rise assessments, our services are designed to ensure the system operates reliably, safeguarding both personnel and equipment.
