1 . 1 0 C h e m i c a l E a r t h i n g S y s t e m – s p e c i f i c a t i o n

Earthing system should offer a resistance of less than 2 ohms throughout the year. In places where Soil resistivity

is more, total length of the earthing rod has to be increased by adding 1m length rods (one over the other) to

achieve low and stable resistance value. In rocky places ,multiple earth rods have to be installed and inter-

connected to get the required value.

Solid Copper coated rods are recommended as earth electrode than a pipe due to the fact that solid rods have

much longer life and can be easily driven by electric/hydraulic hammers. Copper has much longer life than all other

materials as explained in IS 3043. Deep driven rods provide more stable and less Earth Resistance. Doubling the

length of the rod will reduce earth resistance up to 40 %, whereas doubling the diameter will reduce the resistance

by only 10 %, but may increase the cost by 4 times.Lower earth resistance can also be achieved by increasing the

number of earth rods. E.g. 40 % reduction in earth resistance is possible if the rods are increased from 1 to 2. The

minimum spacing between earth pits should be equal to TWICE the length of the rod. Increasing the spacing

between earth pits also reduces the earth resistance significantly.

Need and importance of Earthing:

• Human and Personnel safety.

• Equipment protection.

• Provides low impedance path for fault currents.

• To ensure good quality power.

• Protection against lightning and transient currents, noise reductions, Limitation of EMI.
