What are the various methods for effecive earthing in a
factory in a rocky terrain, where soil resistivity is
extraordinarily high? The usual method of 3 m deep earth
pits is not serving the purpose.

Answer / ashish
If Earthing Resistance Value is more than minimum specified
value & one pit can not serving the you have to provide
Three to Four Earthing Pit Which are Interconnected
Together Making The Earthing Mat So The Total Effective
Value Will be Less.

Answer / brian
Import good black soil from some where else,mix it with alot
of salt and charcoal dust, dig atleast 2 pits in a space of
10metres apart.
Let each pit have its own earth mat and burry it wit the
mixture mentioned above ie salt, black soil and charcoal
dust and then bond or interconnect the earth mats wit an
earthwire of ATLEAST 35mm2.
Finally pour alot of water in the pits.

There are some powders which harden (i.e. erico make some I
think). Generally would drill a fairly deep hole. insert
earthing rod and surround with these earthing enhancers.
Try to avoid gell or powder forms of earth enhancer as they
tend to wash away when it rains

1 “earthing” for bonding of equipment and circuits to common plant earth electrode potential, 2 “protective earthing (PE)” when this bonding is required for personal safety provisions 3 “grounding” for interference suppressing bonding of screens, sys-tems with ground level 4. low-impedance earthing ? 5.primary earthing system and secondary earthing system what is that? 6.earthing electrode or mesh net earthing electrode ? very confusing , simple but very informative help required ? i will be very very thankful to you guys.
