COMPARISON OF NEUTRAL EARTHING METHODS
Methods Of Neutral Earthing
There are several methods for system
earthing which can be generally divided
into:
1. Insulated earthing
2. Solid earthing
3. Impedance earthing through resistor,
reactanse or arc-suppresion coil
INSULATED NEUTRAL SYSTEM (No
Intentional Earthing)
Insulated neutral system scheme
The neutral is not earthed directly. In
reality,the electrical system is earthed
through the system capacity to earth.
The earth fault causes a few amperes fault
current due to the cable capacitance current,
and the voltage of healthy phases will not
rise above the line to line voltage. So, the
system can operate with present earth fault
improving the system continuity and supply.
WAVES ‘13
SOLIDLY EARTHED OR DIRECT
EARTHING
Direct earthing scheme
The neutral of power transformers or
generator is directly connected to station
ground.
The Fault current = the three phase
symmetrical short-circuit current and can
rise from 20 to 30 times the nominal
current. The over-voltage in the healthy
phase will not exceed the line to earth
voltage.
IMPEDANCE EARTHING
The purpose of this method is to limit the
fault current for greater safety. There are
three type of impedance earthing through:
1. Resistor,
2. Reactance or
3. Arc suppression coil (petersen coil).
Like this earthing can be done safely by
using Resistor, Reactance, Arc Supression
coil as shown in the above figure.

WHY TO INSTALL A SUBPANEL IN YOUR HOME
Your home is powered from the electric company via the
service entrance. Wires feed an electric meter and quite
often a disconnect before entering you home's electrical
panel. This panel may be a fuse panel or a circuit
breaker panel. These panels have certainly changed over
the years. Either way, its job is to protect the home's
wiring from overload via either fuses or circuit breakers.
The fuses are desiged to take a predetermined amount
of current and then the fuse link will melt. That's why
we say the fuse blow and circuit breakers trip. Circuit
breakers, on the other hand, have predetermined limits
also, but trip when they exceed the limit and are able to
be reset. This makes circuit breakers reuseable, while
fuses are a one-time thing.
Sizing subpanels to the need of your anticipated load
can be tricky. You'll need to consider the amount of
available power load you'll need and what the main
sevice has to offer. For instance, If you have a 200-
amp main service, you'll have no problem adding a
100-amp subpanel to feed a garage, barn. or a 60-
amp subpanel to power lighting and general-use outlets
in another section of your home. But if you only have a
60-amp service to begin with and want to add a 60-
amp subpanel, you'll have to upgrade your main panel
first to allow such a distribution addition.
When adding a subpanel, I suggest adding at least a
12-slot circuit breaker panel. This should provide
ample room for lighting and general circuits. However,
WAVES ‘13
if you plan to add many 240-volt appliances like
central air conditioning, baseboard heaters, water
heaters, ovens, ranges, or 240-volt window air
conditioners, then a circuit breaker panel with more
opening may be required, as well as a circuit breaker
panel with more openings and a larger main breaker
rating.
Subpanels provide a convenience of lessening circuit
wiring runs to a minimum by centrally locating the
panel, which also lessens the voltage drop that would
occur on smaller wires over a long distance. You can
see the advantage of running a larger set of panel
feeder wires to the area the power distribution is
needed, rather than run multiple wires long distances.
Subpanels and main panels alike have specific rules
that need to be followed according to the National
Electrical Code (NEC). All electrical panels must
have a minimum of 36 inches of clearance in front of
the panel, 30 inches of clearance across the face of the
panel, and a minumu of 78 inches above the floor. If
you can picture an invisible phone booth with an
electrical panel on one wall, you'll have a good idea of
what is required. Now the NEC goes a little farther in
requirements than that. The panel must be mounted in
a dry location and have easy access to it. Only attach
a panel in an area that is not exposed to flammable
materials and never mount it where it is exposed to
moisture like a bathroom or indoor swimming pool area
or the like.
One last tip about adding a subpanel, whenever dealing
with electricity, always turn off the power before you
begin any project. If the power is off, you won't get
shocked. It only tkes a minute to shut off the power,
but it only takes a split second to get shocked and
possibily injured from contact with electricity. Don't
become a statistic.
