Ground Grid Continuity and Integrity Testing

One of the fundamental parts of the electrical substation is a ground grid which provides proper grounding of high voltage apparatus, switchgear equipment, buildings, steel tower structures, etc. The grounding grid is placed underneath the entire electrical substation which has a dual purpose: operating grounding, carrying faulty currents into the earth, and safety for personnel in the vicinity assuring that they are not exposed to an electric shock that could result from the excessive step or touch potentials.

This webinar will give insights into a non-destructive, ground grid integrity (high-current) test method, as one of the relevant techniques and methods for assessing the condition of substation grounding systems. The method is described in the international standard as well – IEEE Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding IEEE Std. 80-2000 (Revision of IEEE Std. 80-1986).

The webinar will be held in the English language. The number of participants is limited to 250.
