Yes. You can put it in horizontal position. Provided all other precautions are fallowed and it carries the electric current to earth.

No, in North America a piece of pipe can not be used as a ground rod. An approved ground rod of 5/8" x 10 feet is what is required. If rocks are encountered and the rod can not be driven into the ground, the rod is substituted by a ground plate. Ground plates are becoming more popular as a backhoe can dig the hole for them in rocky soil. The ground plates also have the advantage of having a larger per square inch surface area than that of the required two ten foot ground rods.

The mesh size in the earthing design for substation can be various size depend on the area. For area that does not contain equipment, we could increase the mesh size because there is no equipment to cause touch potential. But if the area is at the corner of the substation, the mesh size should be smaller because to limit the step potential.

In case you do not have coal and salt for earthing how can you achieve good temporary earthing?

If coal and salt are unavailable for temporary earthing, you can use copper or aluminum rods driven into moist soil to create a grounding connection. Additionally, using a large metal plate or a series of interconnected metal stakes can help improve conductivity. Ensuring good contact with the ground and keeping the area damp can enhance the effectiveness of the earthing system. Always prioritize safety and compliance with electrical standards when implementing temporary earthing solutions.

How do you provide earthing for marshy area?

In marshy areas, providing effective earthing requires the use of conductive materials like copper or galvanized steel rods driven deep into the ground to reach stable soil. Additionally, a grounding grid or plate can be installed, spanning a larger area to ensure proper conductivity. It's crucial to maintain moisture around the earthing system to enhance conductivity, while also considering corrosion protection for the materials used. Regular testing should be conducted to ensure the earthing system remains effective over time.
