Ground Potential Rise

Ground Potential Rise Study

Scope: The result of a ground electrode impedance, referenced to remote earth, and the current that flows through that electrode impedance is known as Ground Potential Rise or Earth Potential Rise (as specified in IEEE Standard 367). The maximum electrical potential that a (substation) grounding grid can achieve relative to …

Step & Touch Potential

What are Touch and Step Potential Requirements?

Objective: To grasp the concept of step and touch potential as per IEC 62305-3 (EN 62305-3) How energy dissipates over conductive objects. Some good conductors exist that provide a path to the ground during broken pole or downed wire conditions, such as metal fences, damp soil, and puddles. Other conductors, …

SS Earth Rods

Importance of Stainless Steel Earth Rods

Scope: Earth rods constructed of austenitic stainless steel according to British specifications. Stainless steel rods are comparable to copper rods; however, they are more anodic than copper and can be used when galvanic corrosion is a concern. The current carrying capacity of stainless-steel rods is lesser as compared to copper. …

Equipotential Bonding

Equipotential Bonding – Everything You Need To Know!

Equipotential bonding or simply bonding is a technique for minimising the danger of equipment damage and personal injury. It entails connecting all metals and conductive goods to an earthing system (also known as a grounding system) so all of them have the same potential energy (voltage).   Introduction Earthed materials …

CCPE Rod

Introduction to Chemically Charged Pipe Electrode (CCPE)

Earthing or grounding is a critical aspect of electrical safety in any installation. It helps to prevent electrical hazards by providing a safe path for electrical fault currents to flow away from the system. A chemical earthing electrode is an advanced earthing equipment that offers numerous benefits over traditional stainless …
