Answer / kalpesh
the earth resistance can be checked by using earth tester
04 spike method.
as far as minimum earth resistance value is concern, it
depends on teh type of gazet connected to this earth pit.
however the resistance should be as low s possible
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 5 No |
earth resistance of individual earth pit should be less
than 5ohms and when it is connected with grid should be
less than 1 ohms

Answer / guru
There is not one standard ground resistance
threshold that is recognized by all agencies.
However, the NFPA and IEEE have recommended
a ground resistance value of 5.0 ohms
or less

Answer / robeesh
Earth Resistance test to be conducted on summer conditions to achieve the correct value by using an earth resistance tester (From Megger/ Sanwa/ Fluke). The value should be less than 1 Ohm for electrical earth pits and less than 10 Ohm for Lightning protection System. Procedure for testing should be as per the equipment.

Answer / nasir sharif
The earth resistance value can be checked by the use of
earth resistance tester (called megger earth tester). The
best earth resistance should be less than one ohm & ideally resistance is Zero ohm but the
permissible value is less than 5 ohm

Answer / chanchal tiwari
the earth resistance should be less than 1 ohm. if we using
digital earth resistor, then one common method used as
three terminal type and the distance between these three
terminal should be 20 to 30 meters.

Answer / prince
Switch on the multimeter, and using the dial on the front, select the resistance function. The multimeter will have two probes with metallic pointed ends. Place the probes on either side of the earth wire. The display on the multimeter should show a low resistance of approximately 0.5 Ohms. If the resistance is significantly higher than this, the wire is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Answer / malik
by using mager we can find the value of earth resistance.
there are three types of resistance
1}low resistance
2)medium resistance
3)high resistance
earth resistance comes in LOW RESISTANCE it should be blow
then 1ohm.

in case of transformer the power factor is depend on input or the output
Why used IGBT IN AC Drives
if only one generator is running in droop mode parrallel with grid and suddenly grid breaker off what will happen? It will trip o/u freq or stay as it is? (urgent)
a wire in which bulb is connected there is two terminal when one terminal is connected to phase than why the value of current shock in nutral terminal is max. or large??
Shall we get electrical shock if we touch the positive terminal of a 230 volt dc supply?
what is meant by CT burden = 10 VA?
Which Programming software are use for Allen bradley PLC's?
What is the inside of ACB & VCB & SF6 breaker's pls tell me about this
This is about the recent problem that we have faced in our project site. We have 6/7.5 MVA. 66/11kV three phase star - star power transformer. The neutral was solidly connected to the earthing mat. But because of high resistance of earthing mat (130 ohm on LV and 180 ohm on HV), one day LV side neutral earthing conductor melted and we had a huge damage. Can any one plz tell me what might happen when we connect power transformer neutral to the earthing mat which has high resistance (>100 ohm ) ?????
hi , i have 150 kw loud and we need 50 m cabil,i want to know wich size cabil we use. thanks
i applied for c licence with my one year apperents trainee and i have attaced with A grade contractor company experiance that is for 14 monts experiance this document is sufeicant for c licence? pls tell why they rejected
