Earthing calculation as per IS 3043
Basic data
Fault level at MV system 36 kA
Type of earth electrode CI pipe, class B
Size of pipe electrode
dia 65 cm
length 300 cm
Soil resitivity 75 Ohm m
Fault duration 1 Sec
No. of earth electrode 4 Nos.
Earth resistance for each GI Pipe Electrode :(as 11.60 Ohm
per IS 3043)
Resistance for all parallel GI Pipe Electrode
= R2 = (Rp/N) 2.90 Ohm
Resistance for GI flat strip 25 x 6 mm ,7.5 m long per electrode,
buried at a depth of 0.6 m
= R1 = 1.19 Ohm
say 1.20 Ohm
Combined Resistance of Earth due to Pipe Electrode and Strip
R1 1.20 ohm
R2 2.90 ohm
= R1 x R2 0.8487 Ohm
(R1 +R2)
Grounding system is valid for the combined resistance less than 1.0 Ohm
