If a failure of electrical insulation occurs, all bonded metal objects in the room will have substantially the same electrical potential, so that an person of the room cannot touch two objects with significantly different potentials. Even if the connection to a distant earth/ground is lost, the person will be protected from dangerous potential differences. In a building with electricity it is normal for safety reasons to connect all metal objects such as pipes together to the mains earth to form an Equipotential zone. This is done in the developed countries like U.S.A, U.K etc because many buildings are supplied with a single phase supply cable where the neutral and earth conductors are combined. Close to the electricity meter this conductor is divided into two, the earth terminal and the wire going to the neutral bus bar in the consumer unit. In the event of a break in a neutral connection this earth terminal provided by the supply company will be at a potential (relative to the true earth) which is the same as the live wire coming to the home. Examples of articles that may be bonded include metallic water piping systems, gas piping, airplanes, ducts for central heating and air conditioning systems, and exposed metal parts of buildings such as hand rails, stairs, ladders, platforms and floors. A person touching the un-earthed metal casing of an electrical device, while also in contact with a metal object connected to remote earth, is exposed to an electric shock hazard if the device has a fault. If all metal objects are connected together, all the metal objects in the building will be at the same potential. It then will not be possible to get a shock by touching two 'earthed' objects at once. Bonding is particularly important for bathrooms, swimming pools and fountains. In pools and fountains, any metallic object (other than conductors of the power circuit) over a certain size must be bonded to assure that all conductors are Equipotential and do not provide a hazardous conductive path. Since it is buried in the ground, a pool can be a better ground than the electric panel ground. With all the conducting elements bonded, it is less likely that electric current will find a path through a swimmer. In concrete pools even the reinforcing bars of the concrete must be connected to the bonding system to ensure no dangerous potential gradients are produced during a fault. How the Earth Protects In a system with a grounded neutral, connecting all non-current-carrying metallic parts of equipment to earth ground at the main service panel, will ensure that current due to faults (such as a "hot" wire touching the frame or chassis of the device) will be diverted to earth. In a TN system where there is a direct connection from the installation earth to the transformer neutral, earthing will allow the branch circuit over-current protection (a fuse or circuit breaker) to detect the fault rapidly and interrupt the circuit. In the case of a TT system where the impedance is high due to the lack of direct connection to the transformer neutral, an RCD (Residual-Current Device, sometimes known as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) must be used to provide disconnection. RCDs are also used in other situations where rapid disconnection of small earth faults (including a human touching a live wire by accident, or damage) is desired.

  • Applying the National Electrical Code to Substations Jeff Heinemann – Ulteig Mark Scheid – Ulteig 3350 38 Th Ave
    Applying the National Electrical Code to Substations Jeff Heinemann – Ulteig Mark Scheid – Ulteig 3350 38 th Ave. S Fargo, ND 701.280.8500 Jeff.Heinemann@ulteig.com & Mark.Scheid@ulteig.com Abstract: A discussion of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) design considerations as applied to utility substations, including working clearances, cable tray, cables, conduit, conduit fill, and station services in electrical equipment enclosures. Through the guidance of the National Electrical Code (NEC), we can meet the need for safe low-voltage designs by applying the NEC in substations whenever possible and practical. This paper will primarily focus on low-voltage, single phase designs (600V or less). In order to apply the NEC to substation design, we must first and foremost educate ourselves and understand the intent of the NEC and then decide how it can be utilized in what we are doing. The NEC and NESC contain many applications for safeguarding personnel and equipment. The topics in these publications are so broad that it would be difficult or even next to impossible to discuss in their entirety. There are many topics such as grounding and bonding, warning signs, illumination, PT and CT secondary grounding requirements, etc. that this paper will not address. This paper will discuss a few specific applications of the NEC while referencing the use of the more prevalent NESC and IEEE documents in utility applications. The purpose of the NEC is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity (Section 90.1). Refer to Section 90.2 of the NEC for a listing of which installations are covered and those that are not.
