When and where resistance earthing is used ? How to calculate the time constant for earth fault..

Answer / Avnish Bharadwaj

Resistance earthing, or Earthing through a resistor, is used when the fault current is too high for the system's protective devices. It reduces the initial fault current by introducing a resistor in the earth line. To calculate the time constant (τ) for an earth fault, you can use the formula τ = R * C, where R is the resistance and C is the capacitance of the circuit.
