3.1 resistance to earth
R A real part of the impedance to earth
Note 1 to entry: resistance to ground (US).
Note 2 to entry: IEC 60364-6 uses the term “earth resistance”, which is considered to be the same.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-1 95:1 998, 1 95-01 -1 8, modified – Notes 1 and 2 to entry and a symbol have been added.]
3.2 disturbance voltage
voltage produced between two points on two separate conductors by an electromagnetic disturbance, measured under specified conditions and superimposed on the measuring voltage
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-1 61 :1 990, 1 61 -04-01 , modified – in alignment with the use in this document; in addition, the deprecated term “interference voltage” has been deleted.]
3.3 earth electrode
conductive part, which may be embedded in a specific conductive medium, for example concrete or coke, in electric contact with the Earth
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-1 95:1 998, 1 95-02-01 , modified – The US variant, “ground electrode” has been omitted.]
3.4 earth electrode terminal
connection point for a probe connected to the earth electrode to be tested and that is used for the injection of the test current required for the purpose of measurement
Note 1 to entry: In accordance with the requirements of this document, earth electrode terminals are marked “E”.
3.5 earth electrode probe terminal
connection point for a probe connected to the earth electrode to be tested and that is used as a voltage probe either connected direct to or nearest to the earth electrode for sampling potentials during measurement
Note 1 to entry: In accordance with the requirements of this document, earth electrode probe terminals are marked “ES”.
3.6 auxiliary earth electrode terminal
terminal for connection to an additional temporary earth electrode that is used for injection of a test current required for the purpose of measurements
Note 1 to entry: In accordance with the requirements of this document, auxiliary earth electrode terminals are marked “H”.
3.7 auxiliary earth electrode resistance
R H resistance of an additional earth electrode.IEC 61557-5 pdf download.
