COURSE OVERVIEW
Earthing (Grounding) plays a significant role in all electrical power systems because of the particular influence of earthing on the performance, protection, security and reliability of supply. Electric utilities in different countries apply particular earthing methods depending on their distribution systems’ particular nature and requirements. For proper operation and maintenance of electric power substations, it is essential to understand and maintain the correct earthing system in the utility substation and industrial electrical networks. The course is intended to provide theoretical and practical knowledge that enables the participants to understand the applications, prevailing theory, and essential issues relevant to system and equipment earthing.
