EARTH PIT CONSTRUCTION AS PER INDIAN ELECTRICITY BOARD
1. Excavation on earth for a normal earth Pit size is 1.5M X 1.5M X 3.0 M
2. Use 500 mm X 500 mm X 10 mm GI Plate (Plate may be use as big as possible to contact more and more area of Earth for low resistance & best result)
3. Make a mixture of Wood Coal Powder Salt & Sand all in equal part
(a) Wood Coal Powder use as good conductor of electricity, anti corrosive, rust prove for GI Plate for long life.
(b) Salt use as electrolyte to form conductivity between GI Plate Coal and Earth with humidity
(c) Sand has used to form porosity to cycle water & humidity around the mixture
4. Put GI Plate (EARTH PLATE) of size 500 mm X 500 mm X 10 mm in the mid of mixture
5. Use Double GI Strip size 30 mm X 10 mm to connect GI Plate to System Earthling
6. It will be better to use GI Pipe of size 2.5" diameter with a Flange on the top of GI Pipe to cover GI Strip from EARTH PLATE to Top Flange
7. Cover Top of GI pipe with a T joint to avoid jamming of pipe with dust & mud and also use water time to time through this pipe to bottom of earth plate
8. Maintain less than one Ohm Resistance from EARTH PIT conductor to a distance of 15 Meters around the EARTH PIT with an other conductor dip on the Earth at least 500 mm deep.
9. Check Voltage between EARTH PIT conductor to Neutral of Mains Supply 220V AC 50 Hz it should be less than 2.0 Volts
The duration of In the Pit is 1.3 hours.
The duration of The Money Pit is 1.52 hours.
The duration of Pit of Darkness is 1.27 hours.

it should always be slightly more than 2* length of electrode GI pire l*b*H should be of (2.5-3)m*60mm*13mm
You will first need to do a little research. Making up a scale model before hand can also help out.
An 'earth pit', is a pit in which connection is made between the earthing (grounding) electrodes that have been hammered into (or laid into) the soil, and the earthing conductor that connects the electrical installation to those earthing electrodes.
Salt is used to maintain electrical conductivity in the earth pit, ensuring proper grounding of electrical equipment. Coal, or charcoal, is sometimes mixed with the salt to improve the moisture retention capacity of the earth pit, helping to maintain a low resistance path for electrical current to dissipate into the ground.
An Earth pit is used as a grounding system to protect electrical equipment and personnel from electrical faults by safely dissipating excess current into the ground. It helps maintain the electrical system's safety and integrity by providing a path for fault currents to flow away from sensitive equipment.
A treated earth pit is an earth pit made according to the IS and has dis-connectible flanged connection to the earthing mat. This earth pit is used for measuring individual earth pit resistances.
Pits could be made indoors with a cushion and carpet floor or the earth pit which has no floor and the pit is made of earth and dirt.

what is the resistance value of a healthy earth pit
Earth pit is a glass-covered pit or trench that safeguards plants from frost. It is also used in making charcoals because it becomes a shield against oxygen.
An untreated earth pit is a hole or excavation in the ground that has not been lined or treated with protective materials. It is typically used for various purposes, such as grounding electrical systems, drainage, or waste disposal. Without treatment, these pits can be vulnerable to soil erosion, contamination, or collapse, potentially posing environmental and safety risks. Proper management and treatment are essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of the pit.
There are 3 terminals of an Earth Tester meter. Connect two terminals of meter to earth as far as cables can. Fix the two rods in to soil with the help of a small Hammer. Then connect two knobs of the meter with these rods.Connect the third terminal to the Earth Pit,to whom earth resistance is to be measured. The meter reading will indicate the resistance of the earth pit.The Best resistance of an earth pit must be under unity(<1). Answer BY: Naeem Ahmad Electrical Engineer.
