Earthing Resistence - Calculation

The document outlines the calculations for earthing resistance using a grid of 20 rods and a copper conductor of 120mm². The calculated earthing resistivity for one rod is 70.2 Ω, and for the total of 20 rods, it is 3.5 Ω. The total earthing resistivity, combining the ring and rod calculations, is 1.9 Ω, which is within the acceptable limit of less than 2 Ω.
