Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 1.
Earth Resistance
The resistance supplied by the earth's electrode toward the flow of electricity further into the surface or ground is known as earth resistance.
For proper earthing, the value of earth resistance should be around 1 ohm.
The earth's resistance does not depend on the neutral earthing.
Factors on which earth resistance depends:
- The resistivity of the soil
- Size of the electrode
- The concentration of salts dissolved in the soil
- Composition of minerals like iron, sulfate, etc. in the soil
- Moisture content
- Temperature
