Answer / anilram
for perfect earting it should be zero ohms. for pratically
at site it 1-5 ohms . in large substations the should be
below one ohm

Answer / syed qamar abbas
The ideal value of earth resistance allowed is 1 ohm or less
for equipment's body earthing or grounding like generator,
Main distribution boards , motors etc. On other hand the
value of earth resistance allowed for lightning protection
system is 10 ohms (ideal)
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 8 Yes | 5 No |
Answer / bilal descon
1 ohm is ideal, but thats depend from place to place.
Near desert ares its more up to 20 ohm, but normally
betweem 0 to 25 ohm is acceptable
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 10 Yes | 8 No |
Answer / sethu
perfect earth value - 1.5 ohm
lighting arrest earth value - 1.7 ohm
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 2 Yes | 1 No |
