Technical FAQs 4

Why do substations need grounding?

Equipment Protection: Grounding protects substation equipment from potential damage from lightning strikes, fault currents, and transient overvoltages. The longevity and dependability of essential electrical components are both preserved with the assistance of this protection.

How to maintain a grounding system?

Maintenance and Testing: Regular Inspections: It is essential to conduct routine inspections of the grounding system in order to guarantee its integrity and efficacy. Checking connections, measuring ground resistance, and recognizing any signs of corrosion or damage are all activities that fall under this category.

What is a grounding structure?

Grounding Structures: Structures that are equipped with grounding systems are transmission towers and poles. These grounding systems typically consist of ground rods or plates that are attached to the structure. Electrical fault currents and lightning strikes can be safely dissipated into the earth with the assistance of these grounding structures.

Why does electrical infrastructure need a grounding system?

Electrical infrastructure requires adequate grounding to safely dissipate fault current energy, primarily for the safety of utility personnel and the public. High-energy faults from lightning or over voltage transients can cause substantial damage to utilities.
