Mesure de la résistance des prises de terre .
Elle a été effectuée suivant la méthode 2 piquets , la méthode requiert la création de 2 prises de terre auxiliaires , l’une permet d’injecter le courant de mesure , l’autre est utilisée pour la mesure de la chute de tension engendrée par ce courant.
thanks

: not the official terminology, as standardized by IEC // see http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... Otherweise look for electropedia at Google.

I looked on the IEC glossary website and didn't come up with anything. Can you post the link?

auxiliary groundings / grounding rods
“auxiliary grounding” means an additional grounding connected to a main grounding; (“prise de terre auxiliaire”)
Not sure it's very reliable but gets quite a few ghits compared to the other suggested answer (1 ghit).

: I would say 'ground' rather than 'grounding' here (for US), and they may or may not involve actual 'grounding rods'

Thanks Tony - had you gone to ground when the question was asked?

Why did you not choose it? IEC, International Electrical Commission is the only competent international organization for standardization of electrical terms.
