However we will select a standard size of 100mm GI pipe for the main earth mat below ground as per contract specifications

Conculation:5.00
from the above calculations,we concluded that the required size of main earthing conductor for LV system is higher than that of HV(11kv system)
Hence the size of earth conductor of main grid is selected based on LV system earthing calculation

The conductor selected for main earth is 1 Run of 75 x 10mm GI flat as per NIT.
The earthing Electrode selected for earth pit is 100mm dia & 3mtr.as per NIT

CALCULATION OF MAIN GRID CONDUCTOR & EARTHING STRIP

ENTER THE VALUE IN YELLOW COLOR BOXES ONLY

STEP-1 : BASIC DESIGN DATA

1.01 System nominal voltage MV Voltage

1.04 Fault clearing time

1.05 System nominal voltage LV Voltage

1.07 Fault clearing time

2.00 Earthing Conductor Data

for the conductor (2020C as IEC 60364-5-54)

2.05 Initial temperature of conductor (40 0C)

2.06 Final temperature of conductor (200 0C)

2.04 Electrical resistivity of conductor material at 200C

3.00 CALCULATION FOR SIZING OF EARTH CONDUCTOR BASED ON 11KV SYSTEM

Minimum Cross sectional area required = A

= Is the cross-sectional area, in mm2;

t = is the operating time of the protective device for automatic disconnection in s;

The factor of K is determine from the formula (Annex A - IEC - 60364-5-54)

for steel as per ,Table A.54.1 of IEC 60364-5-54

Hence the calculated minimum diameter of the GI rod

Earthing Conductor(strip) width

Earthing Conductor(strip) Thickness

However as per TS 75x10mm strip shall be used for main earthing

MAIN CONDUCTOR SIZING

ENTER THE VALUE IN YELLOW COLOR BOXES ONLY

STEP-1 : BASIC DESIGN DATA

1.01 System nominal voltage

1.06 Area of earth grid around Substation

1.07 Resistivity of the soil

1.09 Design Ambient temperature

2.01 Length of burial of Earthing Strip

Buried earth conductor (strip)

2.03 Width (Incase of strip) of the conductor (Strip)

Earth conductor (Rod or Pipe)

2.06 Length of earth electrode rod/pipe

2.07 Diameter of earth electrode rod/pipe

2.05 Earth Electrode Material (Rod or Pipe)

Resistance of Buried earth conductor (Strip)

L = Length of the Strip (in Cm)

The resistance of the earth Conductor (Strip)

Resistance of earth Electrode (Steel Rod Or Pipe)

= Length of rod or Pipe (in Cm)

d = Diameter of rod or pipe in cm

= Resistivity of the soil in m

The resistance of the earth electrode

The overall earth resistance of Electrodes:-

the Combined value of

R1- Total Resistance of Earth Electrodes(pits)

R2 - Total Earth Resistance of the buried Conductor

Hence the combined resistance of grid + Earth pits

4.00 CALCULATION FOR SIZING OF EARTH CONDUCTOR BASED ON LV SYSTEM

Minimum Cross sectional area required = A

= Is the cross-sectional area, in mm2;

t = is the operating time of the protective device for automatic disconnection in s;

The factor of K is determine from the formula (Annex A - IEC - 60364-5-54)

for steel as per ,Table A.54.1 of IEC 60364-5-54

Hence the calculated minimum diameter of the MS Rod
