Repeated grounding resistance of distribution box

The repeated grounding resistance for a distribution box should not exceed 10 ohms.

Key Guidelines

Definition: Repeated grounding involves connecting the metal enclosure and conductive parts of a distribution box to the grounding system at multiple points along the neutral conductor. This ensures safety and system reliability, especially in long distribution lines or overhead cables. Resistance Value: For low-voltage distribution systems, the repeated grounding resistance should be ≤10 ohms.

This value is slightly higher than protective grounding (≤4 ohms) because repeated grounding serves as a backup and reinforcement rather than the primary safety ground. In systems with a distribution transformer below 100 kVA, grounding at the neutral point is allowed, with resistance still not exceeding 10 ohms. Installation Practices: Use galvanized steel rods or flat steel driven at least 2 meters into the ground, connected with anti-corrosion-treated joints.

All metal parts inside the distribution box, including doors and mounting boards, should be bonded to the protective earth (PE) conductor. For long cable lines or overhead lines, repeated grounding can be implemented in a ring or network configuration to reduce neutral line impedance and improve voltage stability. Purpose: Provides a backup path for fault currents if the main grounding fails.

Reduces neutral line impedance, minimizing voltage drops and improving system reliability. Enhances safety by preventing the enclosure from becoming live in case of insulation failure. Comparison with Other Grounding Types: Protective grounding: ≤4 ohms, primarily for safety of equipment enclosures.

Lightning protection grounding: ≤10 ohms, sometimes ≤5 ohms in critical facilities. Operational grounding: ≤4 ohms in low-voltage systems to stabilize neutral voltage. By following these guidelines, the distribution box will maintain both safety and operational reliability, ensuring proper fault current flow and minimizing voltage fluctuations.
