Abstract

Earthing is an essential aspect of substation design, primarily aimed at providing a low-resistance path for fault currents to flow in case of a fault occurrence. A well-designed earthing system helps to limit the voltage potential between different metallic objects in the substation, thereby minimizing the risk of electric shock hazards and equipment damage. The design of the earthing system takes into account various factors, including soil resistivity, fault current magnitude, and acceptable touch and step voltages.Fault analysis is another critical aspect of substation design, which involves studying and analysing the behaviour of the power system under various fault conditions.
