Module 6
Earthing
1 INTRODUCTION
The aim of this module is to provide the user a detailed overview of the earthing related problems,
by supplying a guidance for earthing system design.
1st day
Contents Introduction: basic definitions, standards, ground resistivity, electrical properties
of the earth electrodes.
Aims The aim of the first day lessons is to introduce the basic knowledge related to
earthing (definitions, standards, related problems, ground resistivity,ecc…).
2nd day
Contents Typical constructions of the earth electrodes, durability of the earth electrodes,
Measurements.
Aims The second day lessons aim is to provide the attendants some informations on
constructive aspects of the electrodes. The last section of the course will be
dedicated to the key problem of measurements.

2.1 Pathway of learning flow chart
General notes:
− each day there will be one coffee break (30 mins) which will divide the lesson in two parts no
longer than 2,5 hours;
− at the beginning of the course the lecturer will explain course aims and at the end he will verify
their fulfilment through a knowledge test;
− the course will be divided in theoretical and practical sections;
− at the end of the lessons, a user satisfaction survey will help the lecturer in monitoring the course
quality.

4 TEACHING METHODS
Teaching methods are summarized in three main moments:
− knowledge transfer (Lesson)
topics exposure by the lecturer with the help of slides and eventually other electronic tools
(animations, data sheets, didactic movies…);
− deepening/learning verification (Discussion)
general discussion stimulated by the lecturer (also during the lesson) to verify knowledge
transfer and to eventually deepen particular topics;
− practical training (and eventually laboratory activities)
group work (~ 6 persons/group) for topics deepening, practical problems solution and case
studies overview under the supervision of the lecturer.
During all the sections, the lecturer will always attend, with teaching and/or activity coordination
duty.
The lecture room will be suitable to allow the use of all the above listed didactic tools and to enable
group work for the addendants.
Some additional electronic tools will be available also in electronic format at: http://www.leonardo-
energy.org/drupal/ .
The folder will also include a user satisfaction questionnaire and a knowledge test (which will be
both filled and submitted at the end of the course).
