how to measure earth pit resistance
Answer Posted / salman hazari
Earth pit testing is measured by megger or earth pit tester. There are 4 terminals in megger. P1, P2, C1, C2, it means there are two potential terminals and two current terminals. while measuring earth pit resistance we have the requirement of 3 wires. one wire will be connected between one earth electrode which has drived in ground and P1 point of tester from a distance of 30 meters from earth pit. 2nd wire will be connected between one earth electrode which has drived in ground and C1 point of tester from a distance of 15 meters from earth pit. Both electrodes in opposite direction. Shorted P2 & C2 terminal by a small piece of wire. connect one wire to the Earth pit from shorted wire. Move the handle of megger. you will get the resistance value. As theoretically value should be 0 ohm. But practically it should be less then 1 ohm.

we have earthmat at 110KV substation.we would like to take earth resistance.b some says that by connecting earth megger terminals (C1,P1) at middile point of earthmat (at riser) will cause voltage gradient at other earthmat nods and dont get exat earth resistance.when connecting at end nods will get exat value . is it correct .please explain

I have a small system with two motors that are running on 380 vac, 60 hz. These motors are expensive and I usally get them from Brazil. I am adding another motor to the system, but I want to purchase a 480 vac, 60 hz motor to use. It will be on a VFD that is rated fro 380 thru 480. Is this posible and will I have to use a larger motor and derate it?
