Earthing conductors size calculation
1. As per IEE/BS7671, The Minimum cross-sectional area of protective conductor in relation to the cross-sectional area of associated line conductor (Say =S mm2) by taking into consideration that are of same material, as follows:
If S ≤ 16 then the Minimum cross-sectional area of the corresponding earth conductor = S mm2
If 16 < S ≤ 35 then the Minimum cross-sectional area of the corresponding earth conductor = 16 mm2
if S > 16 , then the Minimum cross-sectional area of the corresponding earth conductor = S/2 mm2
2. It may be necessary to verify the same by using the following equation
I²t ≤ S²K
I earth fault current and t tripping time.
while the following equation is applicable for bonding conductor
Zs < 50/Ia where Zs = Earth loop impedance and Ia is protective device operating current

The concept of home automation on a global scale is a good concept. How to implement such a technology on a global scale is an interesting problem, or I should say issues to be resolved. Before global approval ...
For the "Y-Y- Delta" transformers operated in parallel, there exist two kinds of the circulating currents between the tanks and between the banks of the delta side. As the circulating current between the tanks ...
Depends on the size of the network (# of devices planned on connecting), for medium to large corporate networks go 10.x, for home and small business 192.168.x, or to 172.16.x. I would think the IP plan would ...
Some motor manufacturers go from CU to Al because they try to reduce costs.
Then it just works the other way. Al wire needs to have a larger diameter than Cu if you want the same motor performance.
Then ...
