Answer Posted / s. ghosh
earth resistivity is measured by earh megger . there so
many methods of earth resistivity measurements like1)
wenner 4 pin method, 2) schlumberger method, 3) driven rod
or 3pin method. all those test results varies on different
parameters of the site. to minimise tose effects the tests
has to be performed in an arrey called"line traverse
servay". the detail of those above methos i.e. the distace
of rod depth of rod and their variation is to be discussed
in detail. however the result given by the "earth megger"
i.e. the resistance of earth is to be converted into earth
resistivity by the following formula.
Wenner method:-
r(resistivity) = 2(PI)A R : A =Probe spacing, R
resistance reading in the E/megger
Schlumberger:-
r=(PI) L.L.R/2.l L=centre limb to outer probe,
l=centre limb to inner probe,
Driven rod:-
r=2(PI)lR/Ln(8l/d) l=rod length in earth, d=dia of rod.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
