Earthing value as per Indian Standard

Earthing Value as per Indian Standard

Earth resistance refers to the resistance an earth electrode offers to the current flowing into the ground. Ideally, this resistance should be zero to allow fault current to flow quickly into the earth. However, achieving zero resistance is practically impossible. The earth resistance value is different in different locations. Earthing ...
