How would we calculate the no of earthing pits required
for motor /panel

Answer Posted / ramkumar

it depends on the resisitivity of soiland time for fault
current to pass through(1 sec or 3 sec).there is a formula
which gives the area for earthing required.this is is
divided by area of one earth plate.this gives the no of
earthpits required.

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.
