Grounding resistance measurements using very short current and potential leads

The conductor length of the voltage and current circuits used in ground resistance measurements may be quite long depending on the grounding characteristics. Using the technique proposed in this paper, measurements are performed with very short conductors in both circuits. The current circuit is only 12 meters long and the voltage circuit varies from 4to8 meters. The technique is evaluated by comparisons with computational simulations and a good agreement between the results is verified.
