what are the various types of earthing? plz give brief
detail of all. also post pictures if u have.

Answer Posted / abhishek

2 main types of earthing are
1.pipe earthing:

In this method a copper plate of 60cm x 60cm x 3.18cm or a
GI plate of the size 60cm x 60cm x 6.35cm is used for
earthing. The plate is placed vertically down inside the
ground at a depth of 3m and is embedded in alternate layers
of coal and salt for a thickness of 15 cm. In addition,
water is poured for keeping the earth electrode resistance
value well below a maximum of 5 ohms. The earth wire is
securely bolted to the earth plate.

2.plate earthing:

When compared to the plate earth system the pipe earth
system can carry larger leakage currents as a much larger
surface area is in contact with the soil for a given
electrode size. The system also enables easy maintenance as
the earth wire connection is housed at the ground level.
