By increasing the number, and depth of penetration, of earth electrodes. Chemical treatment of the soil in the vicinity of the earth electrodes can also be tried.

How we get 0.5 ohm resistance for Earth pit?

What is the difference between insulation resistance and earth resistance?

insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm


When is earthing required?

As it's a safety factor, earthing is essential and mandatory. It's an electrical connection between the exposed metallic parts of an electrical appliance or installation and the earth, regarded to have zero potential. Proper earthing provides an alternative and easy path for leakage or faulty current to flow. It ensures that any exposed conductive part of the appliance does not reach a dangerous level of potential or voltage that endangers the user's life. A proper earthing system should have least electrical resistance, good corrosion resistance and ability of dissipating high faulty current.


What happens if resistance decreased in earthing?

It will work properly! The resistance and impedance of the earth lead must be low, though the corollary is that it must be capable of passing any likely fault current safely.


What is the difference between earthing boss and earthing lug and where to use?

An earthing boss and earthing lug are parts of a grounding connection. An earthing boss is in a casting that allows for the drilling and tapping of hole. A earthing lug is used to bond a wire to the ground.

Why does an thick earthing wire?

A thick earthing wire, or a wide, flat conductor, is preferred, because it's more important to minimize henrys (inductance) in the earthing system than to reduce ohms (resistance). For the same reason, corners and small angles in an earthing conductor should be avoided, and the conductor should approach any connections from a parallel direction.

Why earthing is use in transformer?

Earthing of a transformer is done to 1:reduce the sensitivity of protective relays. 2:reduce the damage due to fault current. 3:get rid of great loss of equipment and money in case of any earth fault.


What should be the earth resistance of a good earth?

The lower the resistance you get in the grounding/earth system the better. In offshore a resistance from 1-2 ohm is a good earthing system. In Onshore a miximum of 10ohm is acceptable.


How do I remedy touching ground wires?

For getting proper earthing. And it will reduce the chance for getting electric shock


What is the difference between chemical earthing and conventional earthing?

Chemical Earthing and Conventional Earthing are different types of earthing techniques. Conventional Earthing is based on plate earthing and pipe type earthing but Chemical Earthing on GI or Copper.


Why should a earthing circuit have low resistance?

The purpose of an earthing (protective) conductor in a residential installation is to allow sufficient fault current to flow, in the event of an earth fault, to enable the operation of the circuit's overcurrent protection device (fuse or circuit breaker), so its resistance must be sufficiently low to allow this to happen.

What is the difference between neutral earthing resistance and solid earth?

The star point of a primary*-transformer's secondary winding is frequently connected to earth via an impedance, in order to limit the return current in the event of an earth fault close to the transformer. The impedance may be a resistor or an inductor, (choke) depending on the nature of the earth return. In general, if the earth resistance is low, then resistive earthing is used; if the earth resistance is high, then inductive earthing is used.(*e.g. 33/11 kV)For resistive earthing, the transformer secondary's star point is often connected to the centre electrode of a galvanized-steel tank which is solidly earthed. The tank is then filled with water, and it is the resistance of the water that provides the required resistance to earth. The actual resistance of the water is modified to the desired value by dissolving sodium carbonate into the water while measuring its resistance. The solution has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, which means that, in the event of an earth fault, as the fault current increases, the increasing temperature causes the resistance of the water to decrease, thus accelerating the response time of the protective system.
