In this trending era of technology and development, earthing in substations plays a vital role. An electrical power system comprises a network of electrical elements that can be used to generate, distribute and transmit electrical energy through transmission lines. A substation is a part of an electrical power system that ...
The electrically conductive connection between the air-termination system and the earth-termination system is the down conductor system. The purpose of down-conductor systems is to safely transport intercepted lightning current to the earth-termination system without causing excessive temperature spikes that could harm the structure. It must be mounted to ensure that ...
In this blog, we’re focusing on the essential differences between Galvanised Iron Pipe Earthing, also known as GI Earthing, and Copper Plate Earthing. By the end of this blog post, you will get a clear picture of: The Objective of Earthing Various Methods of Earthing Major Differences between GI Pipe ...
What is a Lightning Conductor? A lightning conductor is a thick copper wire or rod fixed onto the tallest point of a building and connected to the ground using a long metallic rod. It protects the building from lightning strikes by providing a low resistance path for the current to ...
Scope of Electrical Lugs A cable lug also known as a cable terminal is a component of an electrical device that connects the cable to the device terminals. It simplifies the assembly of personnel, maintenance, and repair processes. A cable lug or connector is used when a permanent connection is ...
Standards Used for Earthing Systems Definitions Over the past century, Electrical Safety Standards have evolved into highly advanced frameworks, covering all key aspects of safe installations, including Earthing Systems. For Low-Voltage (LV) Electrical Installations, the IEC 60364 standard ensures the protection of both personnel and property. The IEC 60364 standard ...
What is a Single Line Diagram? A single line diagram also called the one-line diagram is a symbolic or graphical representation of a three-phase power system. It has a diagrammatic representation of all the equipment and connections. Standardized schematic symbols represent electrical elements such as circuit breakers, transformers, bus bars, ...
TNS (TN-S) earthing systems are vital for any electrical installation, providing a safe and reliable connection to the ground to protect people and property from electrical hazards. In this blog post, we will explore the basics of TNS earthing system, including how they work, the main components of these systems, ...
TNCS earthing systems are a type of electrical system that protects people and structures from electrical hazards. They ensure the safety and reliability of the installation process. TNCS (TN-C-S) systems use a combined neutral and earth conductor (C and S). This conductor connects the electrical installation to the ground. In ...
Earth resistance refers to the resistance an earth electrode offers to the current flowing into the ground. Ideally, this resistance should be zero to allow fault current to flow quickly into the earth. However, achieving zero resistance is practically impossible. The earth resistance value is different in different locations. Earthing ...
