CALCULATION OF RESISTANCES TO GROUND (acording to Green Book)

R = Resistance
p = 4060 resitivity of earth in ohm-centimeters
a= 50 radius (shell nearest the rod) dimensions must be in centimeters to give resistance in ohms.
L= 300 Lengh rod (centimeters)
s= 250 spacing between rods (centimeters)
FORMULAS FOR CALCULATION OF RESISTANCES TO GROUND (TABLE 8, pag 123)
a.- HEMISPHERE radius a
R = p / (2 x pi x a)
R = 12.929936 Ohm
b.- ONE GROUND ROD
R = (p / (2 x pi x L)) x (Ln((4xL/a)-1)
R = 4.6936829 Ohm
c.- TWO GROUND RODS (s > L )
R = (p / (4 x pi x L)) x (Ln((4xL/a)-1) + (p / (4 x pi x s)) x (1-((LxL)/(3xsxs))+((2xLxLxLxL)/(5xsxsxsxs))
R = 4.0916588 Ohm
d.- TWO GROUND RODS (s < L )
R = (p / (4 x pi x L)) x (Ln(4xL/a) + Ln(4xL/s)-2+(s/2xL)-(sxs/16xLxL)+(sxsxsxs/512xLxLxLxL))
R = 3.3627268 Ohm
