Earth Mat Design For 132 Kv Substation

Earthing mat design for sub station switchyard.

Earth mat design for 132 kv substation.

Earth mat in 110kv side of a 220 110 kv substation the fence equipment body tanks support structures towers structural steelworks water pipes etc. Could u please explain me how to do the earth mat design for 220 132 33 kv outdoor gss which have 5 steps 135m 138m 141m 144m 147m. The substation grounding system comprises of a grid earth mat formed by a horizontal buried conductors before 1960s the design criterion of substation earthing system was low earth resistance earth resistance 0 5 ohms for high voltage installations during 1960s the new criteria for the design and evaluation of substation. Earth mat design can be done by manual calculations as well as with the help of computer software.

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. 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. Earth mat design in 33 11 kv power substation live working substation. 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.

Introduction to substation earthing grid. A real time case study has been considered and the design was done using etap electrical transients analyzer program.
