The earthing system in a plant / facility is very important for a few reasons, all of which are related to either the protection of people and equipment and/or the optimal operation of the electrical system. These include: Equipotential bonding of conductive objects (e.g. metallic equipment, buildings, piping etc) to the earthing system prevent the presence of dangerous voltages between objects (and earth). The earthing system provides a low resistance return path for earth faults within the plant, which protects both personnel and equipment For earth faults with return paths to offsite generation sources, a low resistance earthing grid relative to remote earth prevents dangerous ground potential rises (touch and step potentials) The earthing system provides a low resistance path (relative to remote earth) for voltage transients such as lightning and surges / overvoltages Equipotential bonding helps prevent electrostatic buildup and discharge, which can cause sparks with enough energy to ignite flammable atmospheres The earthing system provides a reference potential for electronic circuits and helps reduce electrical noise for electronic, instrumentation and communication systems This calculation is based primarily on the guidelines provided by IEEE Std 80 (2000), "Guide for safety in AC substation grounding". Lightning protection is excluded from the scope of this calculation (refer to the specific lightning protection calculation for more details). Why do the calculation? The earthing calculation aids in the proper design of the earthing system. Using the results of this calculation, you can: Determine the minimum size of the earthing conductors required for the main earth grid Ensure that the earthing design is appropriate to prevent dangerous step and touch potentials (if this is necessary) When to do the calculation? This calculation should be performed when the earthing system is being designed. It could also be done after the preliminary design has been completed to confirm that the earthing system is adequate, or highlight the need for improvement / redesign. Ideally, soil resistivity test results from the site will be available for use in touch and step potential calculations (if necessary). When is the calculation unnecessary? The sizing of earthing conductors should always be performed, but touch and step potential calculations (per IEEE Std 80 for earth faults with a return path through remote earth) are not always necessary. For example, when all electricity is generated on-site and the HV/MV/LV earthing systems are interconnected, then there is no need to do a touch and step potential calculation. In such a case, all earth faults would return to the source via the earthing system (notwithstanding some small leakage through earth). However, where there are decoupled networks (e.g. long transmission lines to remote areas of the plant), then touch and step potential calculations should be performed for the remote area only When to do the calculation? The calculation should be done when the earthing system is being designed. It could also be design after the preliminary design has been completed to confirm that the earthing system is adequate, or highlight the need for improvement / redesign.
