What is soil resistivity and why is a geoelectrical study necessary?
The geoelectrical study of the subsoil makes it possible to establish the optimum configuration of the earthing system to be designed. The ground resistivity measurement makes it possible to determine the layout, depth, number and type of elements necessary according to safety and functional requirements.
General earthing system: earthing installation
The general earthing system connects the different parts of an electrical installation with the surface conductor of the Earth to guarantee security and functionality.
In an electrical installation, the soil itself provides equipotentialization for all of the metallic parts so that there are no differences in potential between each other. This is carried out in order to guarantee the safety of people and equipment from any possible defects in the actual facilities.

From the wrath of the gods to the spark of life: Lightning in fiction
The phenomenon of lightning has been an endless source of inspiration and fear in mythology, ancient culture, literature and film over the centuries. Its awesome power and ability to illuminate the night sky have led civilisations to attribute mystical and divine meanings to it before they knew the physics behind this atmospheric phenomenon. From the gods of thunder in mythology to its symbolism in classical and contemporary literature, lightning has left an indelible mark on the human imagination.
