About the Course
This course will be focused on earthing system measurement, specifically on tower footing resistance for overhead lines and grid earthing resistance (and impedance) for substations. Participants will learn the principle of earthing resistance measurement, the calculation of the earthing resistance, and its interpretations. Participants will have exposure to actual hands-on measurements at the site (lattice structure tower) using suitable test equipment and methods of minimizing errors at difficult sites through an actual case studies approach.
Course Outline
Able to describe the earthing resistance measurement correctly by;
Defining the earthing resistance of a system,
Explaining the principle of earthing resistance measurement,
Explaining the Fall of Potential (FOP) method of measurement,
Calculating the earthing resistance, given a set of results from FOP measurement
Listing methods to minimize measurement errors, and
Explaining the function of test equipment for earthing resistance measurement
