Substation ground mat.

In the gate swing area an equipotential wire mesh safety mat can further reduce hazards from step and touch potentials when opening or closing the gate. Go back to contents 5 3 earth mat in a sub station. These elevated ground mats have grip strut for the platform due to the snow environment where these are installed. Figure 3 substation grounding.

The substation earthing system comprises of a grid earth mat formed by a horizontal buried conductors. An electrical substation is a critical resource in a power system. Ground mats and mesh. Earth mat is connected to the following in a substation.

Earth mat is preferable to large substations because of space saving on the ground level due to substantial reduction of earth. The elevated design gives the substation employee the ability to be on an elevated above the snow line platform as well as a grounded mat. Normally the earth mat is buried horizontally at a depth of about half a meter below the surface of the ground and ground rods at suitable points. Ground mats and mesh.

The mats usually connect via a wire to the ground port of an electrical outlet. Safe operation of a substation calls for a properly designed and installed grounding system a well designed grounding system will ensure reliable performance of the substation over its entire service life. The mats may be placed on the floor on a desk or on a bed so the user can put their bare feet hands or body on. All gate posts should be interconnected.

Grounding accessories tools our chance brand offers a variety of temporary protective grounding equipment used by linemen during construction and maintenace of lines. Read about design of substation earthing system here. In high and medium voltage air insulated substations ais the electromagnetic field which causes are the static charges of bare cable and conductors and by the atmospheric conditions surges induce voltages at no live parts of the installation that create potential differences between metallic parts and ground and also between different points of. Every grounding application is unique.

Earthing is an important aspect of every substation construction. Some substation designs require fence grounding to be isolated from the main ground grid.
