Do you know how to measure the earth resistance? if so
explain it

Answer Posted / ahmad abu alrob

Normally no meaning for earth resistance, we use a
measurement of resistance in a definite location to
calculate the Earth Resistivity which can be used for the
calculation of Grounding/ Earthing mesh resistance.

Measurement can be done in one of the following:

1- Normal Volt/ Ampere method: Inject current and measure
voltage , then you will got the resistance.

OR

2- Wenner method using 4 electrodes: You should use the
equipment especially used for this purpose, and you should
follow the instruction attached with the equipment.

OR

3- Using Schlumberger method applying 4 electrodes: same
equipment used in 2 but different calculation applied.

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
