Functional earth connection will act as an
electromagnetic interference filter (reducing the
effects of electrical noise and harmonics)
Contact with a

Equipment system, Line-to-
ground fault,
R=2/L
where L = length of conductor in metres
= resistivity of the soil in ohm-metres
approximate resistance R ohms:
R=1/nL
where L = length of conductor in metres
= resistivity of the soil in ohm-metres
approximate resistance R of the single
electrode in ohms:
R=0.8/L
where L = the perimeter of the plate in
metres
= resistivity of the soil in ohm-metres
This polarity is chosen to minimize corrosion
