Earthing System Design

WE OFFER SERVICES IN etap™ V20.6

SPC is engaged in designing cost-effective & robust Earthing systems engineered to comply with the relevant Indian (IS:3043) and international (IEEE: 80 & IEC 61936) Standards and codes of Practices to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. Our expertise in grounding system design encompasses the entire spectrum of generation, transmission, distribution & utilization of electric power. We are specialists offering earthing designs for utilities, industries, commercial buildings, hospitals, wind and solar farms. We also offer peer review of earthing system designs for both new construction and existing sites as part of renovation & modernization (R&M) and recommend any needed modifications. SPC deploys well-known industry-grade software package and derives strength in the years of expertise in designing Earthing systems globally.

Safety for both operating personnel and the general public in the event of an earth fault in an electric power network is of paramount importance and major concern for electrical utilities, industries, asset owners as well as users of electricity. Invariably, the safety of human beings from electric shocks is linked to a properly designed and maintained Earthing System as it carries the fault current safely to the ground without causing adverse impact. This is equally true for the safety & protection of the equipment in a substation or consumer premises. The goal of earthing/grounding system design should be to ensure adequate robustness in meeting the functional and safety requirements of the earthing system while achieving a balance between cost & practicality.

Trust in our Expertise.

We are specialists in:

  • Designing Earthing systems to suit the site conditions rather than tailor-made designs

  • Designing Earthing systems in high soil resistivity areas

  • Developing suitable models of non-uniform soils based on actual field measurement data

  • Analyzing personnel safety considerations like step, Touch voltages & EPR/GPR and arriving at optimized risk mitigation strategies

Our Clientele:

  • Electric utility transmission & distribution substations

  • Power generation plants (utility, industrial power plants, CPPs)

  • Renewable energy sites (solar, wind)

  • Commercial buildings and high rises

  •  Critical installations (Hospitals, Laboratories)
