1.0 PURPOSE:
This Job procedure describes the installation of earthing and lightning protection
systems for electrical equipments and structures.
50 2.1 REFERENCES:
1 Earth Mat or Grid Primary requirement of Earthing is to have a low earth resistance.
2. By reducing the high resistance, individual electrodes are inter linked inside the soil minimum
500mm depth its increases the area in contact with soil and creates number of parallel paths.
3.The earth mat shall be made through flat or rod conductor and size of the conductor shall as per
installation standard and approved earthing layout.
4. Individual electrodes are parallel linked with flats or rod to states the combined earth value which
will be much lower than the individual value.
5. The earth mat shall be made properly by considering the safe limit of Step Potential, Touch Potential
and Transfer Potential by approved earth mat design calculation.
6. The earth conductor shall be laid the trench crossing below the 300mm from bottom of the trench.
1. Earthing conductor joint shall be provide minimum double of the conductor width on overlapping with
arc welding work as per approved typical layout which is approved by client.
2. Before joint the conductor shall be removed the paints or any other non conducting materials from the
jointing parts.
3. For Bolted type joints shall be made the hole as per specified bolt nut sizes.
4. Flat and spring washer shall be provided in the jointing bolt nuts and provide proper torque as per
specification.
System earthing primarily concerned with the protection of Electrical equipment by stabilizing the voltage
with respect to ground.
1. It is the protection for the operation system. HV and LV Neutral of the power transformer winding and
earth.
2. Neutral earthing and electrodes shall be provide separately with reference to the approved earthing
layouts.
2. Lightning earthing(shield wire) shall be provide test link box for testing and separate earthing shall be
provide based on typical earthing layout.
3. Fencing earthing shall be provide with 10meters interval as per approved layout and gates shall be
earthed with flexible cu wire.
4. For cable tray earthing flats shall be run along with cable tray and shall be made a links of all rows in
10 meters intervals.
5. Plant instrument and electronic earthing shall be provide seprate with the gird earthing.
1. Individual earth electrode resistance shall be measured after disconnecting from the gird by using
earth resistance testing kit.
2. Earth gird resistance shall be measured after connected all earth electrodes to the gird.
3. Resistance shall be measured at electrical equipment neutral earthing point.
4. Resistance shall be measured at earthing of structure lightning point.
All the earthing as built drawing and test report (2 set hard copy and one set soft copy )shall be
submitted to client.
