how to check the earth resistance value& what is the
minimum earth resistance for good earthing sysytem.

Answer Posted / bhushan

value depends upon the soil resistivity but in reality it
should be zero to get better result. As per recommendation
by NFPA and IEEE it should be less then 5 ohms.

A 400 V, 50 Hz, Δ connected synchronous generator has a field reactance of 0.1 Ω and armature resistance of 0.015 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200 A at 0.8 pf lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 KW and the core losses are 30 KW. What is the machine’s overall efficiency? Ignore any field circuit losses.
