Ground Resistance

It used to be fag packet type approximation that when measuring the earth impedance that as a very very much rule of thumb starter for ten sort of thing.

approx 80% of the total figure between two fart away points might be made up of the area around the local rod/plate/tapes etc and the other 20% between that area and all the area between them up to the area surrounding the other earthing point.

What would be a sort of max in ohms between two extremely far points example two countries ? say England and New Zealand or Oz?

  • Good answer Zoom, I`ve no idea.

    As we move away from the sphere of influence of say an earth road then my idea is we move to very small lumps of high resistance bobbles of earth but many para paths with multitudes of cross connected series-para and para series all para together so a relatively low value I think. in one country it might be quite low at near extremes but what about between countries/continents. 


    I think some on here will have some expert opinions of it.


    I suppose it`s just a saturday type question
