In what organizations for checking electrical installations, quality control of electrical safety of facilities, electrical safety and the functioning of electrical equipment should everything be at the highest level? One of them is an electric laboratory!
The ZANDZ Technical Center received a request to calculate the working grounding for the electric laboratory. Further we will consider what our engineers have offered!
Initial data:
- specific resistance of the soil used for calculations – 100 Ohm * m;
- the available area for the installation of the grounding device is 30x30 m.
Task:
It is necessary to calculate the working grounding device with a resistance of not more than 0.5 ohms.
The set of measures to provide the required lightning protection is offered by the following solutions:
- Installation of a grounding device, consisting of a grounding mesh with a pitch of 3x3 m using a copper-bonded tape with the cross section of 30x4 mm, and vertical electrodes 3 m long, in knots (106 pcs.). The burial depth is 0.5 – 0.7 meters.
Grounding device resistance calculation:
The design resistance of the grounding device is 0,49 Ohm, which is less than the required value of 0,5 ohms.
