    The document describes test arrangements for measuring ground potential rise from a diesel generator. It provides sketches of test setups for measuring the rise when the generator is connected to both an earth grid and an individual earth rod. Temporary remote current electrodes and potential electrodes are installed at various distances and depths to measure the potential in two directions from the grid or rod under test.
