The function of earthing in an electric power system is to (i) maintain the potential of current
carrying as well as non current carrying parts of equipment, apparatus and appliances
connected to the system, and (ii) to ensure safety of equipment and personnel and correct
operation of protective devices during earth faults. Earthing also provides safety during lightning
strikes on equipment or structures and on occurrence of induced voltages and currents on
equipments of an electric system.
Earthing plays an important role in proper operation of generation, transmission and distribution
systems. As is well known, earthing systems are intended to protect electrical equipment and
personnel involved with the equipment from the dangerous overvoltages and leakages. With the
power systems becoming more and more complex, the fault levels in the system are going up.
This has resulted in focusing greater attention to the design of earthing systems. Added to this,
the technology development over a period of time and better understanding of the various
parameters involved in the design of the earthing systems attach great importance to revision of
earlier considerations and concepts.
A safe earthing system provides easy and shortest path to the flow of fault current without
adversely affecting the continuity of service. It is also to ensure that a person present in the
station yard is not exposed to danger of electric shock.
The efficacy of an earthing system depends on various factors like resistivity of surface layer of
soil, duration and magnitude of fault current and grid current, the maximum safe current that a
human body can tolerate and the permissible earth potential rise that may take place due to the
grid current.
To address various issues involved in the earthing systems, the Central Board of Irrigation &
Power in association with International Association on Electricity Generation, Transmission and
Distribution (AfroAsian Region) is organising a Seminar on “Earthing Systems” on 2122 May
2008 at Conference Hall of Central Board of Irrigation & Power, Malcha Marg, Chanakyapuri,
New Delhi 110021. Various topics of interest have been identified for deliberation during this
period.
