Earth Mat Design For 132 Kv Substation

Earth mat design can be done by manual calculations as well as with the help of computer software.

Earth mat design for 132 kv substation.

Earthing mat design for sub station switchyard. A real time case study has been considered and the design was done using etap electrical transients analyzer program. Introduction to substation earthing grid. This paper presents the design of earthing systems for the 132 33kv substation in rivers state of nigeria and the review of substation practices with special reference to safety and development criteria for safe design.

Though manual calculation is a good software tools ensure a detailed design so that the earth mat is neither under designed hence safe nor this paper presents the complete design of earth mat for a 33 11kv indoor gis gas insulated switchgear. This paper presents the design of earthing systems for the 132 33kv substation in rivers state of nigeria and the review of substation practices with special reference to safety and development. Earth mat in 110kv side of a 220 110 kv substation the fence equipment body tanks support structures towers structural steelworks water pipes etc. Earth mats manufactured from high conductivity copper tape also reduce the danger of exposure to high step and touch voltages to substation and authorised personnel working on high voltage switching providing reliable earthing in high fault current and step potential avoidance applications such as high voltage substations and switchrooms.

Can t do the earth mat design separately for each step and finally connect each steps together. 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.
