Project description

In all electronic plants, especially in high-voltage plants, suitable grounding concepts are necessary to protect persons from the dangers of dangerous voltages in the event of a fault in the plant.

In the course of maintenance measures, the existing fencing systems in substations are to be renewed and integrated into the grounding concept.

For this purpose, inventories and ground resistance measurements were carried out in the substations and the extension of the grounding concept was determined in a simulation, in accordance with the requirements of the currently valid standards and guidelines, in particular those of DIN VDE 0101-2.
