Earth grade of a cable is parameter which governs the degree of sufficient separation between the conductor and the nearest electrical ground to preclude dielectric failure and makes sure that the required thickness of insulation, to physically protect the conductor, is more than adequate for required dielectric strength.
For cables to be used in solidly earthed system, the phase conductor to armor insulation has to be rated for VL/√3 volts that is phase to ground voltage only. This earth grade is to be adopted when the system is solidly earthed without any intentional resistance or inductance in neutral circuit.
In case the system is resistance/inductance earthed or unearthed, the phase to ground voltage of two healthy phases rises to approximately phase to phase voltage when earth fault occurs in the third phase.
The phase to ground voltage of healthy phase comes very close to or attains phase to phase value depending upon the degree of effectiveness of system neutral earthing. Hence phase conductor to armor insulation of cables used in unearthed or resistance/inductance earthed system should be rated for full phase to phase voltage instead of VL/√3.
