As all four pylon stubs are connected to the foundation earth of the pylon, the measuring
current
I
meas
is divided into five components according to the present resistances
involved.
One part flows via pylon construction to the overhead earth wire and further to the
parallel circuited pylon earthing resistances.
The other four current components (
I
1
... I
4
) flow via the individual pylon foots.
The addition of all currents result in a current
I
E
going through the earthing resistance, for
example, the resistance of the "composite" earth electrode to the soil.
If the current transformer is fixed to each pylon stub, one after the other, four resistances
have to be measured which show a behavior inversely proportional to the corresponding
current components
I
1
... I

. The feeding point of the measuring current is to be left
unchanged to avoid a change in the current distribution.
Accordingly, these equivalent resistances are displayed as:

Therefore the earthing resistance R

of the pylon is determined as a parallel circuit of the
individual equivalent resistances:
