For reducing tower footing resistance it is better to use

  • For reducing tower footing resistance it is better to use ground rod and counterpoise only.
  • A ground rod is a vertical rod that is driven into the ground and connected to the tower base.
  • It provides a low impedance path for electrical current to flow from the tower to the ground.
  • A counterpoise is a horizontal wire or grid that is placed on or near the ground and connected to the tower base.
  • It serves to increase the effective size of the ground plane, which reduces the tower's overall electrical resistance to the ground.
  • By using both a ground rod and a counterpoise, you can create a more efficient ground system that helps to reduce the tower footing resistance.
  • The ground rod provides a direct path for current to flow into the earth, while the counterpoise helps to increase the surface area of the ground plane and distribute the current more evenly across the soil.
