1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This document covers the design of below and above grade grounding system for
the main plant area of 2x660 MW IB TPS (UNIT-3 & 4), BANHARPALLI.
1.2 The following aspects of below grade grounding system design are covered:
(a) Determination of size of ground conductor.
(b) Establishing the ground grid configuration.
(c) Determination of ground grid resistance.
(d) Check on Step and Touch potential.
1.3 The methodology and material details of above grade grounding system are also
covered in this document.
1.4 The following calculations/ details are not covered in this document:
(a) Grounding for switchyard areas (OPGCL Scope).
(b) Grounding for Coal Handling area / Ash Handling area (CHP & AHP vendor
Scope).
(c) Grounding for plants & facilities not part of Main Plant Package.
Further, interconnection of aux. Plants/ other areas grounding grid with main
plant grounding grid shall be in Customer’s scope inline with Cl. 2.1.2 below.
2.1.1 Ground grid of mild steel rod material designed to limit step and touch potentials
within tolerable limits is provided for the Main Power House Area covering
Transformer Yard, TG Building, Boiler area, ESP and ESP Control Room area
covered within this envelope.
Detailed calculations for the above are covered in Annexure-A1 & A2.
2.1.2 Ground grid shall be connected to the 400 kV switchyard ground grid and auxiliary
plant grounding systems through at least two interconnections with test facility.
The interconnecting conductors will be run parallel to and as close as possible to
the interconnecting cable path on pipe cum cable trestle/ duct bank/ trench as
applicable.
2.1.3 Risers with an effective cross sectional area equivalent to below ground earth
conductor are provided from the below ground grounding system for connection
of above ground (equipment) earth leads.
2.1.5 For electronic grounding, one number electronic grounding pit is provided for each
unit and one number electronic grounding pit each for the auxiliary area in BHEL
Scope (where MAX DNA /PLC control panels are located). Only electronic ground
connections are brought to this pit. No other ground connections (i.e. system/
equipment ground connections) are permitted for connection in this pit. For

2.1.7 All lightning protection down conductors are connected to dedicated ground
electrodes through isolating links and then to the grounding system.
2.1.8 The sizes of conductors for below grade grounding are tabulated in Annexure-C,
Table-1.
2.2.1 Average soil resistivity has been computed based on Soil Resistivity Measurements
(Test results are attached at Annexure-D) furnished by OPGCL as part of Contract
Specification “ Vol-A: Geo technical Investigation Report”.
2.2.2 The size of grounding conductor is based on the maximum ground fault current
value of 50 kA for 1 second, with all below grade joints being welded type. The
minimum rate of corrosion of steel for selection of grounding conductor is
considered as 0.12 mm per year. The grounding grid has been sized for a power
plant life of 40 years.
2.2.3 For a fault located within power station premises, the ground grid design is based
on the maximum fault current that is expected to occur during the design life of
the station. The total ground fault current is contributed by generating station and
transmission/ distribution system. The ground grid layout is based on the larger of
the two i.e. contribution of generating station and contribution of transmission/
distribution system.

3.1.3 75x10 mm galvanised M.S. flats are run as main earth conductor along building
columns / walls and securely fixed to the same by welding / clamping at intervals
not exceeding 750 mm. Connections from runway conductor/submats are made to
the main earth conductor.
3.1.4 Railway tracks are bonded across fish plates and earthed at regular intervals. At
the point where rail track leaves plant area, the rail section is provided with
insulated joint at both ends.
3.1.5 Metallic hand rails, fencing of transformer yard, etc. are connected to the below
ground earthing system. Earthing conductor is buried at least 2000 mm outside
the fence of electrical installations. Every alternate post of the fences and all gates
are connected to earthing grid by one lead.
3.1.6 Each street lighting pole/flood light pole and lighting mast will be grounded by
35x6 mm GS flat, which will be connected to two no. 40 mm dia & 3m long
earthing spike, directly driven into ground at a depth of 1 meter from ground
level. The junction box at each lighting pole is grounded at two (2) points from
two (2) nos. earthing terminals by 16 SWG GI wire. One 16 SWG GI wire shall be
taken upto the junction box from lighting fixtures and connected to grounding
point.
3.1.7 Cable screens and armour (wherever applicable) are earthed at both ends for
multi core cables. For single core cables, the same is done at switchgear end only.
3.1.8 Above grade ground conductor connections are welded except at the equipment
end, where the connections are bolted.
3.1.9 The sizes of conductors for above ground grounding are tabulated in Annexure-C,
Table-2.
3.1.10 Electrodes for lightning protection shall be as per “Design memorandum for
Lightning Protection system” PE-DC-391-509-E003.
