TRAINING CODE :
A119

OBJECTIVES :
The purpose of this course is to give an overview of the function of electrical earthing in a power system. It covers the general and fundamental characteristics of an earthing system and parameters that influence the flow of earth currents and the earth resistance value. The functions and behavious of the various types of earths e.g. lightning, neutral and frame and electronic earths, are covered. Practical aspects are embedded in the course to enhance the appreciation of their design and practical application. The course explains the electrical shock criterion and shock situations and traces the development of earthing grid design. It then gives an introduction to the EMC problem that is now becoming a critical issue in computer control of the power
