Effective Methods For Power Systems Grounding
Effort is made to classify and compare several grounding designs. The latter part of this paper provides a general algorithm for designing of grounding power systems. In most cases, to best serve the
Abstract: The selection of a grounding configuration and design of a grounding impedance is of vital importance for the stability and functionality of power systems, including industrial and commercial power systems. These key aspects of grounding systems have been the subject of various standards, industrial codes, and recommended practices.
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.
The various grounding system designs are implemented for power systems components in order to assess their capabilities and performance. Several tests are conducted for ground faults, when different grounding system designs are used.
Solid grounding refers to the connection of a system conductor, usually the neutral of a generator, power transformer, or grounding transformer directly to ground, without any intentional intervening impedance. Two examples of solidly grounded systems are shown in Figure 20.
