Vman = 100 V. Max.

Resistance (milliohms)

Graph 2

This chart represents the maximum allowable resistance of the protective ground, based upon the constraint that the maximum

voltage drop across the man will never exceed 100 volts, at any fault current level. Equations 3 & 4 were used, the variable was

the fault current level.
