    This document contains calculations for earthing resistance analysis based on standards BS 7430:1991 and IEEE Std.80. It analyzes the resistance of vertical ground rods, horizontal ground conductors, and their combined system. It specifies parameters like fault current, conductor materials, dimensions of rods and conductors, soil resistivity, and arrangement of the grounding system. The conclusions state that the total earthing resistance of 0.75 ohms is less than the individual resistances and the ground grid can withstand the fault current, therefore the system is safe.

    E. CONCLUSIONS
    1. Combination of the two values estimated under items (B) and (C) shall be less than any individual values of (B) or (C) because
    they are naturally conneted in parallel. So, the final total earthing resistance shall be less than the smallest value of 0.75

    2. If Short Circuit Current Ground Grid withstand exceeds The fault current, the Grid will be safe otherwise it will not be safe,
    So the grid is Safe
