What are the various methods for effecive earthing in a
factory in a rocky terrain, where soil resistivity is
extraordinarily high? The usual method of 3 m deep earth
pits is not serving the purpose.

Answer / ashish
If Earthing Resistance Value is more than minimum specified
value & one pit can not serving the you have to provide
Three to Four Earthing Pit Which are Interconnected
Together Making The Earthing Mat So The Total Effective
Value Will be Less.

Import good black soil from some where else,mix it with alot
of salt and charcoal dust, dig atleast 2 pits in a space of
10metres apart.
Let each pit have its own earth mat and burry it wit the
mixture mentioned above ie salt, black soil and charcoal
dust and then bond or interconnect the earth mats wit an
earthwire of ATLEAST 35mm2.
Finally pour alot of water in the pits.

There are some powders which harden (i.e. erico make some I
think). Generally would drill a fairly deep hole. insert
earthing rod and surround with these earthing enhancers.
Try to avoid gell or powder forms of earth enhancer as they
tend to wash away when it rains

Dear Sirs, I am a technical persons.In one of our Electrical Sub- Station, We have installed three numbers of 1250KVA ,11KV/0.415KV Transformer to feed the Factory load. We have found some abnormality. In one of our Transformers the leakeage current from transformer body to earth through earth continuity wire is almost 86 Amp but in other transformer it is (5-10)Amp. where the load current on three phase and neutral are respectively 1360Amp,1400Amp,1370 Amp & 176Amp. So please any technical person help me about the reasons of this situation and how I can rectify the fault. Moreover,I have measured the earth resistance of the Earth continuity wire which is less than 1 Ohm. Thanks Tapas Barua

we have a 2000kva step down transformer at our site. The HT side is charged from 22000V. So the primary current will be 52.48A. So why the HT breaker(SF6 ABB) is rated of 1250Amps ?
