Abstract
Integration and separation of medium voltage
(MV) and low voltage (LV) earthing systems in
electrical distribution substations has been a topic
of debate in recent times. Proponents of
integration of MV/LV earthing systems base their
argument on the resistance of the earth grid and
the magnitude of the earth potential rise (EPR). If
the earth grid resistance is less than 1 and the
expected EPR is not more than 300V, the earthing
systems should be integrated, otherwise, they
should be physically separated. Opponents of
