Generally lower earth resistance is preferable but for certain applications following earth resistance are satisfactory

Large Power Station s– 0.5 Ohm

Major Power Stations - 1.0 Ohm

Small Substation – 2.0 Ohm

In all Other Cases – 8.0 Ohm

What does 14.65 ohms equal on the 20k setting. I got no reading on the lower settings?

The reading of 14.65 on the 20k setting means 14.65K Ohms, and you probably need to go back and re-read the instructions for the meter. If, for instance, you used a 2M scale, if you had one, you would get 0.014, but the result would not be very accurate, as you need to pick a range that is close to maximum reading for that range. It is normal procedure to start with a high range and come down in range as you approach an on scale reading.


What is the maximum value of a 220 ohm with a 10 percent tolerance?

242 ohms INCLUDES initial tolerance assuming no thermal drift aging etc


If the voltage is 15 V and resistance is color coded red-red-brown-silve what are the maximum and minimum possible current.?

The resistor with the color code red-red-brown-silver has a resistance of 22 ohms with a tolerance of ±10%. The minimum resistance is 19.8 ohms (22 - 10% of 22), and the maximum resistance is 24.2 ohms (22 + 10% of 22). Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), the minimum current is approximately 0.76 A (15 V / 19.8 ohms) and the maximum current is about 0.62 A (15 V / 24.2 ohms).


What is the purpose of 50 ohms antenna?

A; it is to match the cable line impedance to the receiver for maximum transfer of energy


What is the largest value the resistor can be and still be in tolerance?

To determine the largest value a resistor can be while still being in tolerance, you need to know the resistor's nominal value and its tolerance percentage. For example, if a resistor has a nominal value of 100 ohms with a tolerance of 5%, the maximum allowable resistance would be 100 ohms + (5% of 100 ohms), which is 105 ohms. Thus, the largest value the resistor can be while remaining in tolerance is 105 ohms.

What is the acceptable value of grounding resistance for any application?

An acceptable resistance for a ground to ground plate system is 2 ohms with a maximum allowance to 5 ohms. If the measured resistance is above 5 ohms more grounding rods or plates have to be added to reduce the resistance down to the acceptable levels.


When grounding a metal box what must be done?

The grounding system of a distribution must be from zero ohms to a maximum of two ohms. This is usually obtained by bonding all metallic parts back to the distribution centre with a wire capable of handling the circuits fault current if the circuit should ground out. The ground wire in cable sets is used for this purpose.

How do you find out if a wire is grounding out?

To determine if a wire is grounding out, use a multimeter set to test for continuity or a short circuit. Place one probe on the wire you suspect is grounding out and the other on a known ground point. If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading of zero ohms, the wire is grounding out.

Why does your grounding meter read OL from gen to 1st ground rod and from 1st to 2nd ground rod get 28.51 ohms?

Code requires that the resistance between the two grounding electrodes be 25 ohms or less. You don't mention how deep they are or how far apart they are. THat will make a difference. Or it could be the soil they are in.You need to get the resistance down

What would the ohm reading be on a digital meter for a 4500 watt baseboard heater?

To calculate the ohm reading of a 4500-watt baseboard heater, you would need to know the voltage it operates at. You can use the formula Ohms = (Voltage x Voltage) / Watts to find the resistance in ohms. For example, if the heater operates at 240 volts, the ohm reading would be approximately 12.8 ohms.


How many omhs of resistance does a ground rods have?

The resistance of ground rods typically ranges from 1 to 25 ohms, depending on factors such as soil conductivity, rod material, length, and installation method. Ideally, grounding systems should aim for a resistance of 5 ohms or less for effective grounding. However, in some cases, achieving lower resistance may require multiple ground rods or additional grounding techniques. Always consult local codes and standards for specific requirements.
