Double ground system (Tweaks)

Hello JAM,

How did you guys measure the resistance?

I didn't measure it...the guy working hard to get the pins into the ground did that using special measuring equipment (expensive stuff!).

The principle used for measuring earth ground is rather different than using a multi-meter to check resistors. I think it uses high Voltage pulses and checks what comes back but I could be completely wrong here...

I am now installing a heavy duty contactor (relay) with a simple remote switch, so that I can connect/disconnect the two ground systems to each other during playing.

Good idea! Not sure if your earth is doing a good job though to be able to compare but you could ask a company working with electricians to measure your earth. It takes only a few minutes...

Bert
