Abstract
A ring main unit (RMU) is used in the power distribution system to provide three-phase supply. This RMU needs proper grounding for reliable and smooth power supply to residential areas. In this paper, ground resistance of an RMU is measured using fall-of-potential method. The ground resistance is measured by Fluke 1625 Advanced earth tester equipment and the value is found to be 1.58 Ω. Soil resistivity is also measured near the RMU and calculated by CYME GRD software. The COMSOL Multiphysics software is used to simulate ground resistance, and the simulation results are found to be in good agreement while compared to the experimental results.
