Installing and testing an earth system

Select a suitable site for the earth system. Site needs to be:

At least 10 m (33') from other earth systems (e.g. telephone and power lines).

Away from stock or other traffic that could interfere with the installation.

At a site that can be easily observed for maintenance.

Ideally at a site that has damp soil (e.g. a shaded or swampy location). Note that the earth

does not need to be directly adjacent to the energiser installation.

Drive PATURA earth stakes into the ground. Use high-voltage, insulated cable and earth clamps to

continuously connect the earth stakes and the energiser's Earth terminal. Make sure the insulation

is stripped back to ensure good contact between the wire and the earth stake. The table below

specifies the minimum number of 1 m or 2 m (3'3") earth stakes recommended for an earthing

system. Often, especially with bad conducting or dry soil more respectively longer earth stakes

are necessary

Test the earth system, using the following procedure:

1. Turn off the energiser.

2. At least 100 m (330') away from the energiser, short circuit the fence by laying several steel

rods or lengths of pipe against the fence. For best results, the fence voltage should be lowered

to 2,000 V or less. In dry or sandy conditions, it may be necessary to drive the rods up to

300 mm (12") into the earth.

3. Turn the energiser back on.

4. Using a PATURA Digital Voltmeter (DVM), ensure that the fence voltage is below 2 kV.

5. Check your earth system. Insert the voltmeter's earth probe into the ground at the full extent of

the lead, and hold the other lead against the last earth stake. The voltmeter should not read

more than 0.5 kV. Anything higher than this indicates that better earthing is required. Either

add more earth stakes or find a better ground area to drive in the earth stakes.

A voltage of below 0.2 kV would be best.
