Design and Validation of Plate Earthing System for Equipment Earthing

Earthing system is an essential part of electrical installation as it helps in eliminating shock hazards and also provide zero voltage reference point for the equipment. Design earthing involves, measurement soil resistivity proposed site electrode & determining conductor type required number earth electrodes order to achieve resistance value. This paper describes methodology followed design validation a plate equipment new test laboratory, which had requirement less than 1 Ohm mandated by supplier. will be helpful personnel involved system.
