WIRING INSTALLATION AND EARTHING - Quiz

1) What is the minimum size of Copper earth continuity conductor used in single phase domestic wiring as per BIS?

3 Sq.mm 3.5 Sq.mm 2.5 Sq.mm 1.5 Sq.mm

2) Which method is used to reduce earth resistance value in a existing earth?

Increasing the length of electrode Keeping wet condition in earth pits always Adding more sand and charcoal in earth pits Increasing the diameter of earth electrode

3) Why A.C is required to measure the earth resistance by using earth resistance tester?

Regulate the current Increase the voltage drop Decrease the voltage drop Avoid electrolytic emf interference

4) What is the formula to find voltage drop of a A.C single phase wiring circuit?

Voltage drop = IR volt Voltage drop = I<sup2R volt Voltage drop = I/R volt Voltage drop=IR/2 volt
