Where all & Why resistance grounding is required?



Where all & Why resistance grounding is required?..

Answer / omar aziz

Resistive or high impedance earthing is classified as IT
system in IEC standards. It is employed where there is a
need to limit the earth fault current to minimium levels.

Primary this id the grounding techinique used in coal
minning where high earth fault currents can lead to
catastrophic fires.
I hope this helps. If yourequire further info there is a
good technical paper on schnider website,

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
