Answer / kumarabharathi
Earthing Resistance can be maintained by adding
water,charcoal & salt per month,Not only by adding those
three, Its rusted bolt& Nuts must be renewed by new one for
every three month,this maintenance should be varied depand
upon the climatic conditions, such as in rainy season.Earth
pit must be fenced with cement.

Answer / pks
by pouring the water inside the earth pits...
by checking values of earthing resistance within six months
intervals for each individual pit...

Answer / j.kesavan
earthing resistance should be maintain below 2 ohms.its
safe for machiens.

Answer / ashish patil
by pouring water ,charkol and salt is used but it is old
method.use pouring of Bentonite powder by using water.
Also to reduce earth resistance by parralel resistance to
earth mesh.it cen achived upto 2ohm.

Answer / nagarjuna
earthing resistance is maintained below 2 ohms.we should
add salt and water where we r grounding the equipment.

Answer / rajendra soni
monthly check of earthing resistance by good earth
resistance meter.
by pouring water ,charkol and salt when ever you find that
earthing is increasing

Better to use stainless steel bolts nuts and washers since
GI ones tend to deteriorate and get corroded after a long
time and it becomes difficult to open the bonding,
connection for taking measurements.
Simple method is pour lot of salt and water around the
earth electrode and surely you will get a very good value
of earth resistance instantly.

length of 4 core cable 95mm from substation LV VFD panel to Motor at field approximately 150 meter. Motor stop and power has been isolated from LV MCC ( Substation )to disconnect Motor for services. After Motor completed service propose to reinstall and reconnect Motor Cable, found earth cable sparkling during touching at metal / motor body. Inspect by clamp meter found earth cable have current flow AC 1-2amps and all earth cable at MCC LV also have current flow as same value. why it is happen?

2 Answers Electrical, Electrical Tech, Videocon,
There are two nos of 33Kv/11Kv 5MVA transformers conecting through HT cable from substation having metering at substation itself.One transformer used at a time another remains stand by.Further 11 nos of 11Kv/440V transformers are attached on it and each transformer is having its own Power factor correction panel.Now one 33/11Kv transformer at no load condition/Stand by condition is having power factor in leading side upto 0.21 and while when another tranformer at same situation have power factor in lagging 0.42. Now one thing is clear that transformer one is having 1.5 Km long 33kv cable due to that PF goes in leading side and another is having only 250 mtr length remains him lagging. Now i want to know that how i can maintain the Power factor at no load/ stand by position though both are behaving in seperate manner.

A 3 phase motor, 440 voltage, induction motor. If we take out rotor from motor and if we give supply 440 volt to stator then what happens?????
what is the difference in inductance and resistance.both oppose the flow of current but how.resistance having + ve power in both cycle while inductance having both power.
what are the difference between protection class CT and Class PS CT
Why is voltage is required to be within permissible range for an electrical equipment?
