    We are making 6700KVA hydel power station. Along 11KV/66KV Switch Yard. Is it necessary for both? Or just for switchyard area.

    Are the step & touch voltages calculated for HV substations ? or they should be calculated for LV projects as street lighting poles or LV water pumps projects too ?

    It is better if you would show us how these are derived

    I want to give a seminar on grid Earthing..Can u give me detail info about it?

    Sir,

    In the design procedure for earthing it is said that as we doubles the length of the rod the resistance will be reduced by 40% and when we increase the size of the electrode the resistance decreases by 10%. i am getting this . with reference to what equation the above mentioned conclusions is reached
