Very useful demo. My humble suggestion: For multiple rods the minimum spacing distance should be twice or more that of the depth, to overcome zone of influence effect. Eg: if the depth of one rod is 1.5m then the parallel rod should be placed 3m away. Then current spike should be placed at a minimum distance of 8 to 10 times the depth. Suppose rod is 1.5 meter depth then current spike distance to be at least 15m away in order to avoid influence. For array the diagonal is taken as depth for calculations. These are thumb rules we follow here in India for Fall of potential method. Thanks.

Good you choose 500V, which will also save thermistor if present. Here in India line to line is 415V and theoretically we have to inject 1000V. But to be on safer side we use only 500V practically.

Good job

Sure, if you get 0.5Ohm that's great. In this type of test, the lower the resistance value, the beter

Please what value are we expecting in the testing. What chemical is use to treat the soil and how is it done

Please what should be the distance from the main rod to the second rod.

Good morning Please I want to know for the third rod are you extending the cable from the main rod or the second rod to the rod? Thanks

@obloni_Electrical

From the second rod please.

Good job again. Please: 1. What is the standard measurement for the resistance or threshold (I can see that yours is above 6ohms but less than 7ohms [6.4ohms])? 2. What is size for the cable that would be used in connecting the earth rod to the house? 3. How do you determine the length of the rod to use, i.e., is there a way of determining how long the rod (which is buried in the ground/soil) should be beforehand?

@obloni_Electrical

Жыл бұрын

Well. There is an acceptable range but it differs from one jurisdiction to another. You have to refer to the electrical code of your country. Meanwhile, the lower the resistance to earth the better. You can even get as low as below 1ohm depending on the area and the type of soil Please contact me through WhatsApp. +2339323669

@@yahayamasanja1849 Earthing system design is based on results obtained from Wenner's 4 pole soil testing method. But as thumb rule we in India use 32 dia (nominal bore) GI pipe buried to a depth of 2.5 meter. This holds good for normal soil. The final result/value should be 5 or below. During summer pit has to be wetted by pouring water. This reduces the resistance. Here the earthing system is TT. We use RCCB for leakage fault. Mcb/fuse takes care of shorts and overloads. Hope this helps.

Thank you sir for the lesson, my question is not related to this topic though. The question is, what could cause light bulb to still give light when you put the switch off? In this case, the illumination becomes low, compared to when the switch is on? What could be the problem pls?

@obloni_Electrical

Alright Seth, so there are two things: 1. Most of the time it has to do with the quality of the LED light. Poor quality LED lights behave like that. 2. Problem with the electrical circuit. *Make sure the neutral is NOT used as the switch wire **That could also happen as a result of small pick-up of electricity from a cable running along the LED light cables due to electromagnetic induction (we say leakage in simple terms) Note: *If you are not sure of the quality of your LED light (s) , replacing them with quality ones could solve the problem. If you are very sure you are using high quality LED lights and the problem is still there, then check the circuit (wiring) as I indicated above.

What is the required minimum reading

How much for an electrode resistance tester in your country? I also had an interest as well.

I did installation of earth once. From my understanding, the earth system depends on the sizes of the building, e.g, factory or house, etc. For me, i would prefer to put all the 3 rods in a hole. Build a chamber and create a square shape one terminal lead outside for all 3 rods. That was what I did in my last earth installation. Sir, i love your output explanation. Reducing the resistance on earth it means the building is not that so BIG?.

What if the resistance is not good enough, what are the symptoms? Does the current get low once put load?

What is the normal ohms for earthing a residential home??

@obloni_Electrical

4 ай бұрын

it depends on several factors and there isn't a single "one size fits all" answer. 1. Local regulations: Different countries and regions have their own specific regulations governing minimum earth resistance values for electrical installations. These regulations often define the required range, sometimes referencing 5 ohms but not always. 2. Soil conditions: The conductivity of the soil where the earth/grounding electrode is installed significantly impacts resistance. Dry, rocky soil offers higher resistance than moist, clay-rich soil. All these factors will affect what you will call "normal ohms for earthing a residential home??" in a particular location. here are some general guidelines: Many countries and regions set a maximum allowable resistance, often ranging from 5 ohms to 25 ohms for residential buildings. However, lower values are always preferred for enhanced safety. Find the relevant electrical code or standard applicable in your area to determine the required earthing resistance value that is acceptable in your country/region If you are in Ghana, you can contact me for assistance.

That depends highly on what the Electrical code of your local jurisdiction(or country) says. The IEE regulation says anything below 200 Ohms is okay. But Practically, you should be looking for a reading below 10 Ohms. with RCD protection (in a TT system). Note: the lower the better. if you can get 0.0 ...value that would be great.
