Magazine | Issue 1 2023 The ground spikes are a part of the test sets for grounding measurements with CPC 100 and COMPANO 100. operation, thereby ensuring that the insulation is guaranteed. How were the new ground spikes tested? Josef: The most complex thing was finding a test method that enabled good repeatability, which was important for comparing the plastics. We developed a test setup with our production partners that made this possible. A defined hammer is guided on a brass rail and hits the test specimen from different heights. This ensures a high-quality level for our new ground spikes, increasing our customer’s safety at work. Thank you very much for your time. It was fascinating to learn about the ideas behind this project. «The most complex thing was finding a test method that enabled good repeatability to ensure high quality for improved ground spikes.» Josef Harl, Development Engineer, OMICRON Background: Mechanical engineering 21
