TSWF - 900.2 - Earthing Calculation For 110kV OHTL - Rev2
Calculation data:
Based on in-situ testing result the resistance value for along the OHTL varies 21.1-328 m.
Max soil resistivity 328 m is considered for calculation.

Because 2 = , minimum diameter of conductor should be higher than 1.1mm. Due to
4
mechanical strength and ruggedness requirement, minimum diameter is 10.5mm. In this project
12mm is selected.
For a 0.102 m (4 in) layer of top soil surfacing, with resistivity of 2500 m, and for an earth with
resistivity of 328 m, the reflection factor K is computed using IEEE Std. 80 Eq.21.

noted that the value for Ki is still 0.866 (same as for mesh voltage).
