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 ...
Earthing connects all the major electrical equipment in our house such as fridge, AC, washing machine, grinder to the ground. So when there is an event of a power surge or lightning strike the extra current formed in the system is easily drawn down to the earth, protecting them from ...
