poorly conducting material. Galvanized pipe shall not be smaller than 100 mm ID. Earthing with pipe
electrode shall be done as per the details indicated in IS : 3043/87 .
3.1.3 The length of pipe electrodes shall not be less than 2.5 m. if rock is encountered, pipes shall be driven
to a depth of not less than 2.5 m with suitable inclination. Pipe shall be in one piece and deeply driven.
3.1.4 To reduce the depth of burial of an electrode without increasing the resistance, a number of rods or
pipes may have to be connected together in parallel. The distance between two electrodes in such a case
shall not be less than twice the length of the electrode. The earthing lead shall be connected by means of a
through bolt, nuts and washers and cable socket.
3.2.4 Earthing using plate electrode shall be done as per details, indicated in drawing.
3.2.5 Plate electrodes shall have a galvanized iron water pipe, buried vertically and adjacent to the
electrode. One end of pipe shall be atleast 5 cm above the surface of the ground and need not be more than
10 cm. The internal diameter of the pipe shall be atleast 19 mm. The length of pipe under the earth's surface
shall be such that it shall be able to reach the center of the plate. The earthing lead shall be securely bolted
the plate with two bolts, nuts, check nuts and washers.
3.3.2. Conductor shall be buried in trenches not less than 0.5 m deep.
4.0 General :
i) All materials used for connecting the earth lead with electrode shall be of GI in case of GI pipe and GI
plate electrodes, and of tinned brass in case of copper plate electrode. The earthing lead shall be securely
connected at the other end to the main board.
ii) The earthing lead from electrode onwards shall be suitably protected against mechanical injury by
routing the earth wire / strip through a suitable size of GI pipe.
iii) All medium voltage equipments shall be earthed by two separate and distinct connections with the
earth. In the case of high and extra high voltages, the neutral points shall be earthed by not less than two
separate and distinct connections with the earth, each having its own electrode at the generating station or
substation.
iv) All materials, fittings etc. used in earthing shall conform to Indian standard specifications wherever they
exist. In the case of materials for which Indian standard specifications do not exist, such materials shall
be approved by the Engineer-in-Charge.
