Abstract
A properly designed and constructed ground electrode should perform well for many years. It must be periodically inspected to know its current technical condition. This obligation falls on the installation's owner. Depending on the function of the ground electrode in the entire installation, it may be a working, protective or lightning protection earth. The choice of a measurement method depends on its function in the installation. The paper presents the results of measurements of the ground electrode resistance of a selected technical facility, performed throughout the year. Repeating the measurements multiple times in different seasons of the year was dictated by assessing the impact of environmental conditions on the results of grounding system resistance measurements. Analysis of the results performed in various environmental conditions may be the basis for recommending those performing this type of measurement to choose the appropriate method and the best date for performing the measurements. Considering the significant impact of the proper value of ground resistance on the effectiveness of protection against electric shock and lightning, its measurements should be carried out with due care.
期刊介绍：
We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections.
Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021).
•Engineering
Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live.
•Physical sciences
Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics.
•Earth and environmental sciences
Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems.
•Biological sciences
Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants.
•Health sciences
The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
