    1. This document provides a calculation for sizing an earth strip conductor based on the earth fault current, clearing time, and material properties. 2. The calculation uses a formula that relates the cross-sectional area of the conductor to the earth fault current, clearing time, and a temperature-based factor. 3. For an example calculation with given values for the current, time, and material properties of steel, the required cross-sectional area is calculated to be 309.84 square mm, so the selected conductor size is 50 x 10 mm.

    1 EARTH STRIP SIZING CALCULATION

    Ref: IS 3043  
       
    S = I * SQRT(t)/k
     
    S = Area of conductor in sq.mm  
    I = Earth fault current in A  
    t = Earth fault clearing time in s  
    k = SQRT((Qc*(B+20)/δ20)*ln(1+(Qf-Qi)/(B+Qi)))  
    Qc = Volumetric Heat capacity of J/C mm cube
    Steel
    B = Reciprocal of Temp. coefft. Of Resistivity ( C )
    δ20 = Electrical Resistivity of Steel at 20 degree c
    (ohm-m)
    Qi = Initial Temperature (0 C)
    Qf = Final Temperature (0 C)
    I = 25,000.00 A
    t = 1.00 sec
    Qc = 0.0038 J/C mm cube
    B = 202.00  
    δ20 = 0.000138 ohm-mm

    Qi = 40.00 (0 C)

    Qf = 500.00 (0 C)

    k = 80.69  
    S = 309.84  

    Selected Size of Main Earth Grid Conductor – 50 x 10 mm
