Recently I have been through one answer shared by you and got your email id at AllInterview.com. Please kindly help me in my below concern :

Permissible current density equation i = (7.57*1000) / sqrt(resistivity * duration of earth fault)

Answer / mrutyunjay

Dear Sudhakar Sir,

Greetings of the day !

Recently I have been through one answer shared by you and got your email id at AllInterview.com. Please kindly help me in my below concern :

Permissible current density equation i = (7.57*1000) / sqrt(resistivity * duration of earth fault) as per IS 3043

Is this equation to be taken for all types of electrodes ( Plate, Rod or Pipe & Strip ) ?

Because , as per IS 3043, same equation is appropriate for plate electrode

Answer / sudhakar.g

The earth resistance of single rod or pipe electrode is calculated as per IS 3040:
R=100xρ/2×3.14xL (loge(4xL/d))
Where:
ρ = Resistivity of soil (Ω meter),
L = Length of electrode (cm),
D = Diameter of electrode (cm)

Example:
Calculate number of CI earthing pipe of 100mm diameter, 3 meter length. System has fault current 50KA for 1 sec and soil resistivity is 72.44 Ω-Meters.
Current Density At The Surface of Earth Electrode (As per IS 3043):
• Max. allowable current density I = 7.57×1000/(√ρxt) A/m2
• Max. allowable current density = 7.57×1000/(√72.44X1) = 889.419 A/m2
• Surface area of one 100mm dia. 3 meter Pipe = 2 x 3.14 x r x L = 2 x 3.14 x 0.05 x3 = 0.942 m2
• Max. current dissipated by one Earthing Pipe = Current Density x Surface area of electrode
• Max. current dissipated by one earthing pipe = 889.419x 0.942 = 837.83 A say 838 Amps
• Number of earthing pipe required = Fault Current / Max.current dissipated by one earthing pipe.
• Number of earthing pipe required = 50000/838 = 59.66 Say 60 No’s.
• Total number of earthing pipe required = 60 No’s.
• Resistance of earthing pipe (isolated) R = 100xρ/2×3.14xLx(loge (4XL/d))
• Resistance of earthing pipe (isolated) R = 100×72.44 /2×3.14x300x(loge (4X300/10)) = 7.99 Ω/Pipe
• Overall resistance of 60 no of earthing pipe = 7.99/60 = 0.133 Ω.


If you have any doubt regarding this ...pls mail me sudhakar28485@gmail.com

Distribution transformer we provided 2 separate earthing pit for Body and 2 separate earthing pit for neutral,we can not connect separate body earthing pit to other earthing pit but we do metal glanding in secondary side cable termination in both side, transformer and PCC panel (LT Panel), is this safe for transformer and other equipment?
