what should be distance between two electrical earthing pit
as per i.e.e

Answer Posted / vishwas bhat

distance between two pits should not 3m bcoz there is a
tecnical reason behind it, and the reason is that when
there is some heavy earth fault and if one of the pits is
acting as a returning path for earth fault current then it
might go dry due to heat dissipation by the passing
current, and simultaneously one more heavy fault happens
then these pits will offer high resistance because they
have lost moisture and which is not desirable, hence the
distance between two 3m pits should be minimum 6mts.

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com
