    1. Multi-Point Grounding System
    As for the multi-point grounding system (such as electricity transmission tower grounding system, grounding cable communications systems, certain buildings, etc.), They usually pass the overhead ground wire (cable shielding layer) connected to form a grounding system.
    As the Meter is in the above measurement, its equivalent electric circuit is shown in the figure below:
    4
    5
    Where: R1 is the target grounding resistance. 
    R0 is the equivalent resistance of the other entire tower grounding resistances paralleled.
    Although strictly on the theoretical grounding, because of the existence of so-called "mutual resistance”, R0 is not the usual parallel value in the sense of electrical engineering (slightly higher than its IEC parallel output value). But because a tower-grounding hemisphere was much smaller than the distance between the towers, and with a great number of locations after all, R0 is much smaller than R1. Therefore, it can be justified to assume R0=0 from an engineering perspective. In this way, the resistance we measured should be R1. 
    Times of comparing tests in different environments and different occasions with the traditional method proved that the above assumption is entirely reasonable. 
    2. Limited Point Grounding System
    This is also quite common. For example, in some towers, five towers are linked with each other through overhead ground wire; Besides, the grounding of some of the buildings is not an independent grounding grid, but several grounding bodies connected with each other through the wire. 
    Under such circumstances, the above R0 regarded as 0, will yield more error on the results of the measurement. 
    Due to the same reasons mentioned above, we may ignore the impact of the mutual resistance; and the equivalent resistance of the grounding resistance paralleled is calculated by the usual sense. Thus, for the grounding system of N (N is smaller, but larger than 2) grounding bodies, it can offer N equations: 
    6
    Where: R1、R2、……RN are grounding resistances of N grounding bodies.    
                  R1T、R2T、……RNT are the resistances measured with the Meter in the different grounding branches. 
    It is nonlinear equations with N unknown numbers and N equations. It indeed has a definite solution, but it is very difficult to solve the issue artificially, even impossible when N is larger. 
    Therefore, you’re expected to buy the Limited-Point Grounding System Solution software produced by this Company. Users can use the office computer or notebook computer to carry out solutions. 
    In principle, in addition to ignoring the mutual resistance, this method does not have the measurement error caused by neglecting R0. 
    However, users need to pay attention to that: in response to the number of the grounding bodies mutually linked in your grounding system, it is necessary to measure the same number of the testing values for calculating of the program, not more or less. And the program would output the same number of grounding resistance values.
    3. Single-Point Grounding System
    From the measuring principle, HZRC series Meter can only measure the loop resistance, and the single-point grounding is not measured. However, users will be able to use a testing line very near to the earth electrode of the grounding system to artificially create a loop for testing. The following presented is two kinds of methods for the single-point grounding measurement by use of the Meter. These two methods can be applied to the occasions beyond the reach of the traditional voltage-current testing methods. 
    ⑴.Two-Point Method
    As shown in the figure below, in the vicinity of the measured grounding body RA, find an independent grounding body of better grounding state RB (for example, near a water pipe or a building). RA and RB line will connect to each other using a single testing line. 
    7
    As the resistance value measured by the Meter is the value of the series resistance from the testing line and two grounding resistances.
    RT=RA + RB + RL
    Where: RT is the resistance value measured with the Meter.
     RL is the resistance value of the testing line. Meter can measure out the resistance value by connecting the test lines with both ends. 
    So, if the measurement value of the Meter is smaller than the allowable value of the grounding resistance, then the two grounding bodies are qualified for grounding resistance. 
    (2) Three-Point Method
    As shown in the figure below, in the vicinity of the measured grounding body RA, find two independent grounding bodies of better grounding state RB and RC.
    First, link RA and RB with a test line; use the Meter to get the first reading R1.
    8
    Second, have RB and RC linked up, as shown in the following figure. Use the Meter to get the second reading R2. 
    9
    Third, have RC and RA linked up, as shown in the following figure. Use the Meter to get the third reading R3. 
    10
    In the above three steps, the reading measured in each step is the value of the two series grounding resistance. In this way, we can easily calculate the value of each grounding resistance: 
    From:    R1=RA+RB   R2=RB+RC   R3=RC+RA
    We get:   RA=(R1+R3-R2)÷2
    This is the grounding resistance value of the grounding body RA. To facilitate the memory of the above formula, these three grounding bodies scan be viewed as a triangle; then the measured resistance is equivalent to the value of the resistance values of the adjacent edges plus or minus resistance value of the opposite sides, and divided by 2. 
    As the reference points, the grounding resistance values of the other two grounding bodies are: 
    RB=R1-RA   
    RC=R3-RA
