maandustakistus
Maandustakistus refers to the resistance encountered by an electrical current when it flows through the earth. This phenomenon is crucial in electrical safety and the proper functioning of grounding systems. When an electrical fault occurs, such as a live wire touching a metal casing, the fault current seeks the path of least resistance to the earth. The maandustakistus of the soil determines how easily this current can dissipate.
Several factors influence maandustakistus. Soil resistivity is a primary contributor, varying significantly with soil type, moisture
Effective grounding systems are designed to minimize maandustakistus. This is achieved through careful selection of grounding
