Figure 3 substation grounding.
The elevated design gives the substation employee the ability to be on an elevated above the snow line platform as well as a grounded mat.
Go back to contents 5 3 earth mat in a sub station.
Earth mat is preferable to large substations because of space saving on the ground level due to substantial reduction of earth.
In the gate swing area an equipotential wire mesh safety mat can further reduce hazards from step and touch potentials when opening or closing the gate.
Others require it to be tied into the grid.
Introduction to substation earthing grid.
Earthing is an important aspect of every substation construction.
Earth mat is connected to the following in a substation.
These elevated ground mats have grip strut for the platform due to the snow environment where these are installed.
Safe operation of a substation calls for a properly designed and installed grounding system a well designed grounding system will ensure reliable performance of the substation over its entire service life.
Grounding accessories tools our chance brand offers a variety of temporary protective grounding equipment used by linemen during construction and maintenace of lines.

The grounding system in substation is very important.
Ground mats and mesh.
The substation earthing system comprises of a grid earth mat formed by a horizontal buried conductors.
All gate posts should be interconnected.
An electrical substation is a critical resource in a power system.
Normally the earth mat is buried horizontally at a depth of about half a meter below the surface of the ground and ground rods at suitable points.
The mats may be placed on the floor on a desk or on a bed so the user can put their bare feet hands or body on.
The mats usually connect via a wire to the ground port of an electrical outlet.
