    Neutral Grounding

    Uploaded by

    This document calculates the number of earth pits required for a site in Mhow, India based on soil resistivity test results and formulas from IS 3043-2018. It determines that 26 earth pits are needed, each with a 50mm copper-plated pipe 3m in length buried in the ground. It also calculates the resistance values of the pipe electrodes and interconnecting strips in the grounding grid, and selects conductor sizes of 25x6mm copper for the neutral grounding and 40x10mm GI for the body grounding based on a maximum fault current of 15,000A.

    CALCULATION OF NO OF EARTH PITS AS PER IS 3043-2018

    Site Location- ATC Mhow


    Average Soil resistivity( ρ). as per test report ρ= Based on Soil
    resistivity document ,
    280.00 Ohm-mtr Refer document "Soil
    Test Report- MHOW
    Indore"
    time(t) 1 Sec

    Maintenance free with 250 microns Cu plated 50 mm pipe


    Diameter of Pipe d= 0.1 mtr
    Resistivity of compound ρc= 0.12 Ohm-mtr
    length of Pipe L= 3 mtr
    Surface area S= 0.9426 Sqmtr
    Electrode resistance Rb =1/2∏L{(ρ-ρc)[log(8L/d)-1]+ρc[log(8L/d)-1] as
    per IS3043-2018 section 14.2.5 Resistance of an Electrode Encased 66.5912 Ohms
    in Low Resistivity Material
    No of pits proposed 26 No's

    Resistance achieved by Interconnecting strips & other burried strips


    Conductor size 50mm (interconnecting strips) 150 m
    Conductor size 40mm (Cu for Transformer Neutral) burried length 49 m
    Conductor size 25mm (Cu and GI) 77 m
    Average Width of strip 4.1 cm
    Length of grid strip in m l= 27600 cm
    Resistivity of interconnection strip and other burried strips
    1.647
    R=100ρ/2∏l(log(4l/d)

    Cummilative resistance at site


    Cumulative Resistance of Pipe electrodes.(Resistance of one Pipe
    2.56 Ohm
    electrode / No.of Pipe electrodes considered)
    Cumulative Resistance of Interconnecting & other strips (only strips
    1.65 Ohm
    burried in soil)
    Effective Resistance with Earth electrodes and strips in ground 1.0 Ohm

    Conductor size calculation based on maximum fault current


    if I= 15000 A
    t= 1 Sec
    K= 80 For steel
    conductor
    K= For Cu
    205 conductor

    Then the cross section of the grid


    electrode is give by the equation
    S= I x Sqroot(t)/K
    Neutral Grounding
    Thus Conductor size S = 73.2 mm2
    Conductor selected 25 x 6 - Cu
    Body Grounding
    Thus Conductor size S = 187.5 mm2
    Conductor selected 40 x 10 - GI
