make separate earth pits far from the electrical system earth pits and test to have low resistivity then connect the system or tower.
A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.
The conductor used to connect equipment or circuit to an earth electrode is earth bond or in some cases a supplementary bond. This will be generally carried out using a copper tape or an earth cable.
OK, well Earth Loop Tester have a permanent magnet in it. When we rotate it, the flux cut the the conductor and consequently an emf is produced. As we connect the two point of the tester to the earth it complete the circuit and current start flowing through it. The ratio of voltage and current give us the Impedance of Earth.
Earth is neutral, but only at the distribution panel and upstream from it. Downstream of the distribution panel, earth and neutral shall not interchange or cross connect their connections or their roles - earth is protective ground - and neutral the current carrying return conductor.
the chassis will not conduct the electrical current
we call them ground fault breakers 10 milliamps thru you instead of the normal current path can kill you if you have a neon test lamp connect it to one of the hot leads and earth the other. if it lights the earth leak detector is faulty. if it opens the breaker its good most here in the usa have a test button

No. An earth wire (commonly called a ground wire) has no current flowing through it. It is simply a wire connected to the ground to discharge electrical current in a circuit.
No, because electrical systems use earth as a reference of zero potential, however lots of electrical appliances use the earth as a reference point and dump a small amount of current to earth all the time in order to limit power spikes which can damage micro electronics, as long as the earth pin has good contact with the main earth terminal in an electrical installation this is not a problem. some larger appliances like water heaters and electric oven also leak current to earth while they are in use. This is another reason why there should always be a good contact with the main earth terminal.

Earth wire (or earth grounding wire) is a safety system which helps prevent electric shocks. It is connected to the electrical cable of an appliance.The earth wire connects the metal frame of the electrical appliances to the ground. The convention is to have green colour for earth wires. The purpose of earthing is that in case of an insulation failure in some appliance, this wire connected to the metal body will provide a path for the current to flow on the ground. In absence of earth wire, this fault current would have flown through the body of the operator, causing electrical shock.

i have a question? in the earthing system should we connect the negative pole of supply to the earth for example a +24 power supply?
No, an earth wire has a specific safety role in an electrical circuit that does not allow it to be used as one of the two current-carrying wires.
See related link. The neutral wire provides the electric current a return path back to the electrical generation system. It is connected to earth ground, and should have no electric potential in relation to earth ground.
Electricity will always find its way to Earth through the easiest route. As such, you are most likely to be struck by lightning if you provide the easiest route for an electrical current to earth itself. So, if you are holding a large, highly conductive metal pole in the middle of a field during a thunderstorm, where your large conductive metal pole is the closest path to earth for an electrical charge in the air, then the current will pass down the pole, through you, to earth. Voila.
