SECTION 260526 - GROUNDING AND BONDING FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
1.1 GENERAL
A. This document is an outline specification for the earthing installation for the Project,
and is for use as a guide in the design of the installation. It considers the earthing,
bonding of electrical and project equipment including associated buildings and the
sub-stations.
B. The systems and methods described herein may be adopted or modified to meet local
regulations or local practices and materials. The plant earthing system will be designed
in accordance to IEC 60364, BS7430, and other relevant national and international
standards to ensure the following:
1. A predetermined path for earth fault currents

2. Efficient rapid operation of protective devices in case of earth faults
3. The current carrying capacity of the system is sufficient to deal with maximum
anticipated earth fault currents
4. The lowest practicable voltage appears (under fault conditions) between
earthed points of apparatus and the main body of the earth so that insulation
breakdown, dangerous voltages or overheating do not occur.
C. Facilities should be provided for maintenance, inspection and testing of the earthing
installation.
1.2 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT EARTHING.
A. Protective Conductors
1. The metal enclosures of all switchgear and equipment in the power distribution
system shall be connected to earth by means of protective conductors. For
three-phase and neutral systems a dedicated, separate earth cable may be run.
For medium voltage systems, the cable armor or sheath shall be utilized as the
dedicated earth return path.
1.3 EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
A. All extraneous metal work accessible shall be bonded and connected to earth to
minimize the chances of danger owing to earth fault and leakage currents. Where this
does not occur naturally (i.e. where all metallic items of equipment are adequately
bolted to a metallic structure) it will be established by fitting bonding conductors
between items, which are otherwise insulated from each other.
1.4 EARTH ELECTRODE SYSTEMS
A. The resistance to earth of the electrode system shall not exceed 5.0 ohms. If overall
resistance to earth of the network is greater than 2 ohms, additional copper earth rods
shall be driven into the ground at a spacing of not less than one rod length apart.

Page 87 of 170

earth electrodes shall be interconnected with a bare cable or a copper tape directly
buried in the ground at a depth of 500 mm. All earth bars shall be connected in a
continuous ring with cable sizes as calculated by IEC and local standards, for the
relevant prospective short circuit and associated protective device clearance time.
C. Means of disconnecting individual electrodes or groups of electrodes for testing shall

be provided. This may be at the point where rods emerge from the ground or at the
substation main earth busbar for those electrodes connected to it.
D. BS 7430 gives detailed guidance on earth electrodes and soil resistivity.
1.5 EARTH TERMINAL BUSBAR
A. An earth terminal or busbar shall be provided for every installation.
B. At substations the following equipment shall be connected directly to the main earth
busbar:
1. R.M.Us
2. The earth bar of each switchboard. For each LV Switchboard this will facilitate
the connection between the transformer secondary winding ‘neutral’ and earth.
The transformer neutral point is brought into the switchboard and connected
to the neutral busbar which is connected to the earth bar by means of a
removable link.
3. HV supply cable armor
4. The earth electrode system
C. To facilitate testing, each of two groups of rods shall be connected to the earth busbar
via removable links
1. Steelworks of steel building frames (if any)

2. Light current system earths
D. All distribution boards and other control panels should be earthed.
E. Field mounted LV equipment shall be earthed via the feeder cable armour/braid or by
using a separate earth conductor within the supply cable. Cable glands with cast
integral earth lugs may be provided to ensure a good quality earth continuity
connection.
F. Control rooms will be equipped with their own earth bars (clean) for local bonding of
equipment. These earth bars shall be connected to the main earth busbar. The
equipment situated within these rooms shall be earthed, primarily, through the earth
conductors of their feeder cables.

mechanical fittings. PE pipe may be joined to other pipe materials by
means of compression fittings, flanges, or other qualified types of
manufactured transition fittings. There are many types and styles of
fittings available from which the user may choose. Each offers its
particular advantages and limitations for each joining situation the user
may encounter. Contact with the various manufacturers is advisable for
guidance in proper applications and styles available for joining as

chamber in the upper portion of the valve, separating the operating
pressure from line pressure. Packing glands, stuffing boxes and/or
rolling diaphragm technology will not be permitted and there shall
be no pistons operating the main valve or pilot controls. No
fabrication or welding shall be used in the manufacturing process.

to prevent excessive diaphragm wear as the diaphragm flexes
across this surface. No hours-glass shaped disc retainers shall be
permitted and no V-type or slotted-type disc guides shall be used.
2) The main valve seat and stem bearing in the valve cover shall be
removable. The cover bearing and seat 6” and smaller size valve
shall be threaded into the cover and body. The valve seat in the 8”
and larger size valves shall be retained by flat head machine screws

the flow on all sides to avoid deposits. To insure proper alignment
of the valve stem, the valve body and cover shall be machined with
a locating lip. No “pinned” covers to the valve body shall be
permitted. Cover bearing, disc retainer and seat shall be made of
the same material. All necessary repairs and/or modifications other

by couplings or bands may be unperforated within 100 mm of each end of each
length of pipe.
2. Note: Pipe under Class I perforations has no requirement as to inlet area
because it specifies size, number, and location of holes. Alternate perforation
patterns should be approved by the engineer.
