AEMC 3640 - Auxiliary Electrode Spacing

Digital Ground Resistance Tester Model 3640 and 4610 27
4.4.1 Auxiliary Electrode Spacing
NodenitedistancebetweenXandZcanbegiven,sincethisdistanceis
relativetothediameteroftheelectrodetested,itslength,thehomogeneity
of the soil tested, and particularly, the effective resistance areas. How-
ever,anapproximatedistancemaybedeterminedfromthefollowingchart
whichisgivenforahomogeneoussoilandanelectrodeof1"indiameter.
(Foradiameterof1/2",reducethedistanceby10%;foradiameterof2"
increasethedistanceby10%.)
