 Defn.: Earthing means an electrical connection to the general mass of earth to provide safe passage to fault current to enable to operate protective devices and provide safety to personnel. Purpose of earthing Objectives of good earthing system Classification of earthing

Soil resistivity
Earth potential rise Step potential Touch potential

Lightning arresters.
Power transformer neutral. Switchgear. Control room. Noncurrent carrying metal parts. Power cables. Outgoing feeders.

To study the concepts of earthing in power

system.
Design of earth mat-an overview study. To study the earthing condition in 220/66kV Sharavati Receiving Station, Davangere.

To understand the present condition of

earthing in 220/66kV Sharavati Receiving Station, Davangere. Enabling the extensions of earthing condition in 220/66kV Sharavati Receiving Station, Davangere.
