Subject : GROUNDING / Voltage - Grounding system in Factory

Dear Mr Mardini ,

The theoretical resistance of the Ground-pin;

Re = 25 / Inom

The maximum nominal current of the EVO = 210 Amp.

Re = 25 / 210 = 0,12 Ohms.

You have mentioned that the Re of your groundpin is 2 Ohms.

This is the groundpin of your whole factory (?).

When there is only 1 groundpin in your factory, then the value of 2 Ohms is high.

In a TN earthing system, one of the points in the generator or transformer is connected with earth, usually
the star point in a three-phase system. The body of the electrical device is connected with earth via this
earth connection at the transformer.

In order to realize a better grounding,

an additional ground pin in the area of the machine can be made.

Resistance depends on Soil-type.

The distance between the reference pins must be

The Test distance between groundpins should be large enough.

Usuallly a distance of 20 – 50 meters is sufficient.

This depends in soil type – Contact your local installation-engineer.

When ground pins are too close to eachother they should be seen as ‘1 pin’.

Sometimes several pins are used close to eachother, in order to create 1 good grounding-pin.

Also wire-grids can be used as ground ( as long it is not steel concrete wire grid which will rust away )

Ground pins can be made out of Galvanised Steel, or Copper-plated Steel ( pipes / grids )

Check you local supplier for specific knowledge.

PIN 1 / Bad grounding PIN 2 / Good grounding

Dry Soil / High Resistance

Moist Soil / Low Resistance
