The size of the cabling between the generator neutral point and the earthing resistor is usually set by the fault limiting capability of the resistor and the time taken for the fault to clear.
Kind regards Donald Lane |

For onshore equipment fault levels are calculated to IEC 60909.
You will need to the fault levels of any existing feeds into the circuit and convert them to the same base. You then need to know the impedances of the apparatus again to the same base. For a generator you will also need to know its reactances. After that it basic maths and number crunching. Kind regards Donald Lane |

Typically full load current of generator for low impedance earthing. 200A full load current @ sqrt 3 11000V for resistor size. R = V/I
Cable is rated at phase to earth voltage on the neutral side with regular CPC on the earth side. High impedance earthing can be as low as 25A |
