Objectives of Grounding

To provide means to carry electric currents to earth under normal and fault conductors without exceeding any operating and equipment limits or adversely affecting continuity of service.


Objectives of Grounding-

To ensure that a person in the vicinity of grounded facilities is not exposed to the danger of critical electric shock.


Basic Shock Situations


BRIGHTON 66kV SUBSTATION


Ventricular Fibrillation

The most dangerous consequence of electric current passing through the vital parts of a human body is a heart condition – ventricular fibrillation –immediate arrest of blood circulation.


Design Algorithm


Measuring Soil Resistivity

Procedure depends on the instrument


Soil Resistivity Calculation

ρ = 2 x Pi x a x RWhere R is Maximum measured Value


Tolerable Step Voltage

Step Voltage Limit 50 kgE Step 50 = (1000 + 6 Cs ρs) 0.116

√ts

E Step 70 = (1000 + 6 Cs ρs) 0.157√ts


Tolerable Touch Voltage Limit

E touch50 = (1000 + 1.5 Cs ρs) 0.116√ts

E touch70 = (1000 + 1.5 Cs ρs) 0.157√ts


Constants

Cs = 1 – [0.09 (1 - ρ/ ρ s)][2 hs + 0.09]

ρ = soil resitivityρ s = surface layer resistivityTs = duration of shock current in seconds including clearance time of circuit breaker plus relay

Exothermic Joints

Step 1Position clean, dry cables in mold and close clamp.


Insert disk, insert pour weld metal and starter material into crucible, and ignite to

form the weld.


Remove finished connection. Clean mold


FENCE EARTHING

1. Inclusion of the fence within the ground grid area. Under this philosophy, the perimeter conductor of the grid will parallel the fence at a short distance of 1.0m outside. The crushed rock covering will also be required outside the fence.


FENCE EARTHING

2. Placement of the fence outside the ground grid area with close electric coupling between fence and adjacent earth along its length, but with no electrical tie between the fence and the main station grid
