CRITERIA TO CHOOSE THE EARTHING METHOD


VOLTAGE LEVEL: The insulation level of material (transformer, generator, etc.) must be in accordance with the induced over voltage at the time of short circuit. INSULATION COORDINATION: The earth fault current will induce locally an over voltage which must be compatible with the insulation of low and medium voltage components, to ensure the continuity of supply. LIMITATION OF FAULT CURRENT To reduce the electrodynamics stresses on material , to limit the induced voltage on telecommunications lines and over-voltage on LV components.
