Type of Earthing Conductor material :
Option = 4 as
1 For copper flat
2 For Aluminium
3 For Lead
4 For Steel (G.S. Flat)
Material Constants

Copper 234.5 3.45E-03 1.72E-05 395 40
Aluminium 228 2.50E-03 2.83E-05 325 40
Lead 230 1.45E-03 2.14E-04 300 40
Steel 202 3.80E-03 1.38E-04 500 40
For the conductor material selected, the following are the material constants :
k = Qc ( B + 20 ) ( f - i )
ln 1+ = 80.6868322 ==> Constant
20 ( B + i )

where
I ==> Maximum R.M.S ground fault current = 25 KA
A= 284.82 ( mm2 )
