Ground resistance should be designed such that_____________?

Correct answer: A. grounding resistance should be as low as possible

  • A. grounding resistance should be as low as possible
  • B. grounding resistance should be as high as possible
  • C. grounding resistance should be always zero
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

Low grounding resistance keeps fault current high enough to operate protective devices and limits the voltage rise of exposed metalwork. A resistance of exactly zero is impractical, so it should be made as low as reasonably possible.
