Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

In the three-pole fall-of-potential test a ground resistance tester drives a known current between the disconnected electrode under test and an outer auxiliary stake, measures the potential drop between the electrode and an inner probe stake, and computes the resistance by Ohm's law; the probe must lie outside the sphere of influence of the electrode or the readings are invalid.
