Notes On Resistance To Earth (Ref: BS 6651:1992)

1. An earth electrode should be connected to each down conductor


2. Each of these earths should have a resistance (in ohms) not exceeding the product given
by 10 times the number of earth electrodes to be provided.
3. The whole of the earth termination network should have a combined resistance to earth
not exceeding 10 ohms without taking account of any bonding to other services.
4. A resistance value lower than 10 ohms will help reduce the potential gradient
(Touch and Step) around the earth electrodes under discharge conditions.
5. The test joint allows for the earthing system to be tested in isolation from the rest of the LPS.
6. For earth electrodes connected in parallel, the overall total resistance is proportional to
the reciprocal of the number of earth electrodes and can be calculated by applying
the rule for resistors in parallel.
(Example for 4 earth electrodes in parallel):

RA1 RA2 RA3 RA4


RT =
RA2 RA3 RA4 + RA1 RA3 RA4 + RA1 RA2 RA4 + RA1 RA2 RA3

Where RT is the overall total resistance


RA1 is the average resistance for earth electrode No. 1
RA2 is the average resistance for earth electrode No. 2
RA3 is the average resistance for earth electrode No. 3
RA4 is the average resistance for earth electrode No. 4
