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.
Substation Grounding- Sahadeo Latchmepersad, T&TEC 7
Objectives of Grounding-
To ensure that a person in the vicinity of grounded facilities is not exposed to the danger of critical electric shock.

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.

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

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.
Substation Grounding- Sahadeo Latchmepersad, T&TEC 29
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
