What should be the earthing resistance of an industrial
substation and also What should be the house hold earthing
resistance?

Answer Posted / ashish

For 1 kv to 33 KV The earthing Resistance Should be less
than 0.5 ohm.
For Domestic Purpose it should less than 2 ohm
Upto 1 Kv It should be in between 1 to 2 ohm
for EHV it should be less than 0.01 ohm
