FAQ

 

Q: What is the minimum earth resistance of 3000?

A: AS/NZS 3000:2007 mandates a minimum insulation resistance of 1 megaohm between live conductors and earth for low voltage wiring systems. For equipment with sheathed heating elements, like stoves and water heaters, the required insulation resistance is 10,000 ohms, ensuring electrical safety and performance.

 

Q: What is the IEEE standard for earthing resistance?

A: IEEE Std 80-1986 prescribes ground resistance limits: 5 ohms for distribution substations and 1 ohm for transmission substations. Adherence ensures effective grounding, prioritizing safety and system reliability. Engineers should consult the latest IEEE standards and local regulations for precise information.

 

Q: What is the maximum allowable earth resistance?

A:
1. Power Station: 0.5 ohms
2. EHT Sub-station: 1.0 ohms
3. 33 KV Stations: 2.0 ohms
4. D/t Structure: 5.0 ohms
5. Tower Foot Resistance: 10.0 ohms
These values ensure effective grounding for different electrical installations, aligning with safety and operational requirements.

 

Q: What is the soil resistivity test for grounding?

A: Soil resistivity testing is crucial for grounding design, assessing soil conductivity in ohm meters or ohm centimeters. This data is pivotal in creating effective electrical grounding systems, ensuring safety and proper functioning.
