why earth hole size is biggest in plug point?

Answer Posted / prathap

Earth point is long and big because

1,we know if the cross section area increase resistance decreases.To decreases the resistance ,dia increased.And the length is to conduct first before power supply inserts
so when short circuit occurred the short circuit current will conduct earth point first,and flows through it because resistance is low

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
