Protocol for measuring the grounding circuit of the boiler for gas service

Hello!

Such works are regulated by the EMP and the Rules for the Technical Operation of PTEEP Electrical Installations “On Approval of the Rules for Technical Operation of Consumer Electrical Installations”. Chapter 2.7, Grounding Devices. Next, I will outline the points in your own words a little, and you, if you want, then look at the full text of the document yourself, it is easy to find it.

2.7.8 It just says that the visual inspection of the ground loop is mandatory.
2.7.9 Inspections are carried out according to the schedule, but at least once every six months by a consumer, employee or specialist. Inspections are visual. In this case, the results are recorded in the grounding passport.
2.7.10 It says about complex types of soil and humidity, as well as the proximity of lines of force, the schedule of such work at least 1 time in 12 years.
2.7.12 In case of aggressive soil behavior, according to the decision of the relevant authorities, a more frequent inspection frequency with opening the soil and replacing the element in case of damage from 50% can be established. All examinations are documented by status certificates.
2.7.13 Here is a list of inspection work and measurements that should be recorded in the protocols.
2.7.15 Regulates the mandatory compilation of a passport for an earthing switch with a complete information component and inspection reports.

In the resource supplying organization, they answered my request as follows: “Visual inspection - once every 6 months. As a rule, grounding measurements by specialists, with the preparation of an official inspection certificate, are carried out every 6 years. At the same time, it is not necessary to carry the protocol anywhere; it is enough to have an act on hand. On difficult sites and soil problems with excavation - at least once every 12 years or more often by agreement. ” I advise you to visit your resource supplying organization and to clarify the required information according to the peculiarities of the location of your circuit.

“There are no comments on the operation of the boiler” - should there be comments? When there are comments, the state of grounding there will not particularly worry.This is done for your own safety and durability.

Good luck
