How can we calculate earth mat conductor size ..? & give
the formula to determine earth conductor size?

Answer Posted / prasad

for bolted joints cross section Area of the conductr
A=0.0013*I*sqrt(t),
for welded joints cross section Area of the conductr
A=0.011*I*sqrt(t),

I - Fault current (KA) = Fault MVA/ (sqrt3 * system KV)
t - Duration of time

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 0 No

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
