Label versus reality
A marked ground point may still be dead if the path is broken. Field judgement looks at the actual connection, not the painted sign. Check for corrosion at joints, loose clamps, and a rod that still reaches damp earth. These quiet details decide whether protection exists.
After any digging
Work near the ground rod can sever or loosen the link. Any excavation nearby warrants a fresh verification before the pile returns to use. When unsure, measure rather than assume. A field judgement backed by a reading beats a confident guess that risks a shock.
Field caution
Dongshang New Energy treats grounding verification as a gate, not a formality, before energizing equipment after any nearby work. Judge the actual connection, not the painted sign, and verify again after any digging nearby severs the link. A reading-backed judgement beats a confident guess that risks a shock. Measure before you energize, because the label cannot feel the broken path buried just beneath it.
