Jim,

Having taught bonding classes for a decade,  you really should know that a
Simpson 260 is completely worthless for ground conductivity measurements.

Just saying.   We in the electric industry use a high voltage megger to do
this.

Mine runs at approximately 500 volts DC.

This is used in commercial and industrial electrical work.   I am also
required to Meg any ground connection at a residence to under 25 ohms.

Where I to bust out my Simpson  meter,  I'd lose my license.

Caught you stating you used a Simpson for ground resistance measurements
before.   Forgot to correct ya on that one.
