Summary

The design of the earthing grid is based on IEEE 80-2000, with the tolerable touch and step
voltages as prescribed. The design current for the earthing grid, in respect of touch and step
voltages, is 50 kA for the 150 kV KDL Substation.

Critical points in the substation area are identified by graphical analysis, with colour coding
according to safety thresholds.

The calculated ground resistance is 0.238 Ω and the ground potential rise is 8599.16V

The potential plots from this calculation shows that the station is designed to be safe using selected
earthing grid, see plots in clause 9.

 1. Computer program
The calculation is based on a computer program called CYMGRD by CYME International Inc. It is
developed by Hydro-Quebec in Canada. CYMGRD utilises a finite element analysis algorithm,
which is more accurate than the approximate formulas provided in IEEE 80-2000 Guide [1]. The
finite element analysis algorithm enables CYMGRD to analyse earthing systems of either
symmetrical or asymmetrical configuration of ground conductors and rods.

2. Objective
The objectives of grounding system in KDL Substation project is
 To provide low impedance to ground fault current return path i.e., less than one ohm and
in-turn activate the ground fault protection relay as soon as possible.
 To limit potential rise of grounding system as such GPR does not exceed a value which
could damage electrical equipment or affect continuity of service
 To provide a safe environment for operating personnel, i.e, to assure that a person in the
vicinity is not exposed to the danger of electric shock by limiting touch voltage & step voltage
to safer limit in particular areas

3. Soil resistivity
The resistivity of the soil is based on the soil resistivity report measured with Wenner method.
A Single-layer soil model has been used for the calculations, see Figure 1 for resistivity layer values.

Figure 1 : Calculated resistivity from measured values.

A 0.2m thick layer of gravel is going to be laid over the area. The resistivity of the layer is
approximately 3000Ωm. Shock duration time is equal to 0.5s.

4. Fault current
Maximum ground fault current considered for earthing system is 50kA for earthing design of
150kV KDL Substation.

The earthing grid model taken for the substation earthing design is shown in Figure 2. The
dimension of conductor in ground for the earthing grid is 300mm2 & depth of laying is at 600mm
below ground level. And earth electrodes of 6 metre length of 16mm diameter of copper rod.

 7. Conductor Sizing
The Earthing grid thermal design will be based on full fault currents in the grid (50kA).The current
that can be allowed through a conductor without damage due to heating and can be expressed,
according to IEEE 80 [[1]] as following formula below:

1 Type of conductor Copper Annealed

Soft drawn
2 Reference Temperature for Material Constants Tr = 20 c
3 Thermal Coefficient of Resistivity at Reference r = 0.0039 / c
Temperature
4 Fusing Temperature of Conductor Tm = 1083 c
5 Ambient Temperature below ground Ta = 20 c
6 K0  1  r  Tr K0 = 234 c
7 Resistivity of Conductor at Reference Temperature r = 1.72 μΩ-cm

8 Thermal Capacity per Unit Volume TCAP = 3.42 J cm3 c

9 Time duration for sizing the earth mat conductor tc = 1 s

Cross section area of conductor required based on calculation is 178.7 Sq.mm.

Minimum Conductor diameter required dminimum= 15.08mm

As per "Design of steel Earthing Grids in India" IEEE transaction on power Apparatus and System,
Vol. PAS 98 No. 6 Nov./Dec 1979. pp 2126-2134, Corrosion allowance is recommended as per
following rule

Maximum Corrosion allowance of copper conductor for 8 years = 6Mils

Maximum Corrosion allowance of copper conductor for 30 years = 22.5Mils

1 mil = 0.0254mm
22.5 mil = 0.571mm

dminimum = dminimum + Corrosion Allowance =15.08 + 2 x 0.571 = 16.222mm

Minimum Conductor diameter with corrosion allowance is 16.222mm

Minimum Cross Section required with corrosion allowance is 206Sq.mm

Based on Contract specification conductor chosen is 300Sq.mm

9. Result
The program CYMGRD calculates the actual step and touch voltages for each part of the grid. The
result is presented with equipotential graphs of surface and touch potentials with simultaneous
dynamic display of actual station coordinates for detailed safety analyses. The plot shows that the
station is safe with regards to step and touch voltage. This is guaranteed when maximum allowable
step and touch voltage are higher than actual voltage in the plots below. Upto fence area the touch
and step voltages are under the permissible limit. The result and the plots below shows that the step
and touch voltages are guaranteed.
