The resistance of the grounding block in the distribution box is too high
After completing the wiring, use a multimeter to measure the resistance from any point on the steel electrical enclosure box to the main grounding electrode. If the value is high, it is usually because the coating at the connection was not cleaned properly or the bolts were not. Where continuity of service is a high priority, high-resistance grounding can add the safety of a grounded system while minimizing the risk of service interruptions due to grounds. Depending upon the tool cable length and the number of spindles and how they are connected, there are two different alternatives how to meet this requirement. The QST tool cable ground resistance is <3 mOhm/m. These high levels typically require line tripping to remove the fault from the system. HRG allows maintenance personnel to quickly and safely locate a ground fault while avoiding. However, in actual projects, the installation position of the distribution box is often too high or too low, resulting in inconvenience in operation or safety hazards.
