Answer / rr0505

Earth resistance of earth pits shall depend on the terrain
in which the same is provided. Accordingly, based on soil
resistivity data of the location, no. of earth pits is
determined to ensure Grid earth resistance value below 5
Ohms for electrical grids,

For solidly grounded neutral of transformers, resistance
between Neutral & Body earth as well as panel earth shall
be zero.

Answer / rvg.msceb

The earthing resistance indicates the easiness of providing
a path. It should be as low as possible. Different
countries having standard values. In india, for commertial
applications its <1 ohm, and for railway its< 0.5 ohm.
for air craft and ships temp. earthing <10 ohm.etc.

Answer / shri6181

even any earth pit is concidered every earth pit should have the value 0ohms.but in rare cases u will get that value,more over will come 0.3to 0.9,there fore the earth pit value should be less than 1 ohm.ok

Answer / sanjay

NUETRAL&EARTH BETWEEN VALUE IS 0. AND TRANSFORMER BODY
EARTH AND NUETRAL BELOW 1OHM,ANDRESPECTIVELY PANEL EARTH
ISALSO BEBELOW 1OHM.

Answer / dinkar holmukhe

less than 1 Ohm

Answer / lion awan

0.5 to 1 Ohm is standard in my country

Answer / rakesh

For grid resitance it should be less than 5 ohms and for
indipendent earth pit it should less than 2 ohms.

Answer / kalpesh

earthing resetens 1 ohm to 3 ohm in rainy sesion only 1 ohm &other sesion aprox 3 ohm

Answer / kalpesh

Earth pit resistance 1.4 TO 1.6 NORMAL CNDITION

Answer / nandakumar.r

Earth pits resistance was 0 ohms.due to soil difference its
vary slightly near 2 ~ 3 ohms.But its acceptable level in
our country.

For transformer neutral and body earth and panel resisteance
was zero ohms.

2 Answers   Bhartiya International,

Energy metering: On the property I am renting, the supply voltage is 2 x 110 volts. These 2 x phases enter a energy meter which then exit the meter to over head lines to my house. Question 1. The meter is single phase 240 volts but is being used as 2 x phase(2 x 110volt), is this acceptable? if not, please give me the reasons. The meter details are as follows: 60Hz 15amp Imax 100 amp Kd 3,6 Wh/R 1 fase 3 hilos Model FX 231. I think it was manufactured in Brasil From this meter, the cables run along over head aluminum conductors,I estimate the cross sectional area to be 25mm diameter, but the neutral is only about 10mm square diameter, which cover a distance of 170 meters and then terminate with an underground cable of 65 meter length, total length = 235 meters. There must be a huge voltage drop over this length. This line is protected with 2 x 200 amp aluminum fuses after the meter, there is no main switch in the distribution board. These 2 phases connect directly onto 2 busbars. Surely the neutral should be the same size as the conductors if not more? Question2. What are your thoughts about this installation, should there be better protection, is the neutral too small? During the night, the lights dim then brighten all the time, this cannot be good for my electrical appliances. In my home, I only have a small electric geyser and fridge, my stove works off gas. But when i use other appliances like the washing machine or microwave oven, the light dim. The internal wiring of this house is done with solid hard drawn copper wires and of course, they have to be under rated. I am a retired electrician by trade, but not on the metering and over head mains side, my experience is on the factory maintenance side of things. Your expertise on these matters will be greatly appreciated. Please inform me how to rectify or make any improvements Kind regards, my power bill is very expensive, so I need to know how to bring it lower. Kind regards, Brian
