Grounding System
Introduction
In any electrical circuit network, the circuitry that provides a path between the parts of the circuit and the ground, is known as the grounding system. The grounding system is required for reliable operation of any electrical equipment including generator, transformer, power system tower, and other power system installation under fault conditions. In a grounding system, the study of ground resistance is very important in designing any electrical network for residential, commercial and industrial areas. Any electrical equipment needs to be grounded for safe operation. In this case, the enclosure of the equipment is grounded in such a way that the voltage on the equipment maintains the voltage of the ground. This is known as equipment grounding. The grounding is also an important for power generation, transmission and distribution systems. In the transmission systems, each leg of the transmission tower is grounded through a vertically inserted earth electrode. In an electrical substation, all high voltage equipment are grounded with a grounding grid system. In this chapter, objectives, symbols, expression of ground resistance with different types of electrode etc. have been discussed.
