    EARTHING CALCULATIONS REPORT

    PROJECT : GIZ OPEN MARKET


    DATE: DEC.2022
    BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS
    Basis Of Calculation

    Characteristics of the electrical power supply shall be as follows :


    * Low voltage = 380 Volt
    * System frequency = 50 Cycle/sec

    Input Data and Assumptions

    * Earthing Calculation is based on BS 7430:2011 + A1:2015


    * All conductors used in buried earthing Network are bare stranded copper conductors.
    * Depth of burial of earth ring is considered as 700 mm.
    * Earthing system resistance at consumer end shall not exceed the following:
    - Power Earthing System 2 ohms.
    - Clean Earthing System for light current equipment 0.5 ohms.
    * Power Earthing conductor size is considered based on fault
    level current at 15KA as a worst maximum value and fault duration of 1s is considered for 400V system
    * Clean Earthing conductor size is considered based on fault
    level current at 10KA as a worst maximum value and fault duration of 1s is considered for 400V system
    * A standard earth rod (1.2m long & 20mm diameter) is considered for earth electrode for power and clean earth network.
    * for achieving lower resistivity, soil treatment bentonite material shall be used in
    earth pit for power and clean earth network. Soil resistivity of Bentonite considered 2.5 Ohm.m as per IEEE Std.80, clause 14.5.

    POWER EARTHING RESISTANCE CALCULATIONS FOR OPEN MARKET
    According to BS 7430
    1 - CALCULATION OF SINGLE EARTHING ROD RESISTANCE
    According to BS 7430:2011 + A1:2015 Equation 9.5.3

       8L  

    L length of the earth rod (m) 3.60
    d diameter of the earth rod (m) 0.020

    2- RESISTANCE OF PARALLEL CONEECTION OF ALLIGNED RODS


    According to BS 7430:2011+A1:2015 Equation 9.5.4
    The Resistance of a backfilled electrod Rb in Ohms calculated from:

    Re = 0.92 ohm

    ρ Resistivity of the soil (ohm. m) 100.00

    3- CALCULATION OF EARTH RESISTANCE FOR STRIP OR ROUND CONDUCTOR
    According to BS 7430:2011 +A1:2015 Equation 9.5.5

    Rta = 1.24 ohm

    where :-

    ρ Rho specific resistivity of the soil (ohm. m) 100.00


    L the total length of conductor (m) 188

    4- THE COMBINED EARTH RESISTANCE OF THE RODS & CONDUCTOR (LOOP) AS FOLLOWS

    1/R = 1/Re + 1/Rta

    RT = Combined system earth resistance (ohm)

    1/RT = 1.083581 + 0.8046

    RT = 0.53 ohm SUCCEED
