Safe Earthing Systems: Fundamentals of Temporary Protective Earthing – 2-Day Training Course

The condition of temporary protective grounds is very important. What about their arrangement? What about their testing? What about the points we connect them to?

The second cause of electrical deaths in the industry is directly a result of your understanding of the hazards associated with temporary protective earthing. Come and learn about how temporary protective earthing really works, and how to ensure it is ready to protect you if something goes wrong.

People working on the electrical system are most at risk. We rely on temporary grounding (PPG/TPG) to give us confidence when working on de-energised buses that the voltage on the bus can’t rise to a dangerous level. And we check that equipment regularly. But in most cases, we don’t check that the connection point is actually adequately connected to the substation earthing system. Why not?

This presentation will give you greater insight into the function of the earthing system, and show you how to make things safer when working on a de-energised substation.

Key questions covered in this presentation

• What are the hazards? How could the bus be re-energised?
• What is the consequence of an earthing point failure?
• What is induction and the associated risk?
• What is the risk to safety?
• Can we make it safer?
• Is there something we can easily do?
