Earth electrode resistance:

  • A.is resistance of an earth electrode to earth
  • B.is resistance of an earth electrode to bus bar
  • C.is resistance of an earth electrode to conductor
  • D.is resistance of an earth electrode to neutral

Answer: A

Earth electrode resistance is resistance of an earth electrode to earth.

It is the resistance between the electrode and the general mass of earth, made up mainly of the resistance of the soil immediately around the electrode. It determines how much current can flow to earth for a given voltage, and so how well the earthing protects people and equipment.

The resistance to a bus bar, a conductor or the neutral is the resistance of the earthing conductors and connections, not of the electrode to earth.
