How would we calculate the no of earthing pits required
for motor /panel

Answer Posted / ramkumar

it depends on the resisitivity of soiland time for fault
current to pass through(1 sec or 3 sec).there is a formula
which gives the area for earthing required.this is is
divided by area of one earth plate.this gives the no of
earthpits required.
