LV busbar of LV distribution and Lighting panel bus bar shall will be protected against surge
by SPD (surge Protection Device) as required.
System grounding is primarily concerned with the protection of electric equipment and the
reliability of the electrical system.
Equipment grounding is primarily concerned with protecting personnel from electric shock.
Lightning protection is primarily concerned with protection against the hazards of fire and
explosions of flammable materials, as well as electrical equipment, caused by lightning
surges.
Limit the voltage on the circuit when generating more than the design allowance.
Reduce the effect of the electrical interference on signal and instrumentation systems.

that for branch grounding line shall be minimum of 25 mm 2.( The final value is based on the
result of grounding system analysis)
All grounding terminals shall be made of compression terminals. The interconnection shall be
directly clamped (or welded) with a compression branch connector. The ground conductor
and the ground wire are connected by exothermal, The buried depth of the grounding
conductor shall be at least 500mm.
The area far away from the main grounding system, such as tailings system, Intake Water
System, Mess hall etc ,may be grounded by separate grounding electrodes and conductors.
A system neutral ground (transformer neutral) shall be provided for transformers as required.
The neutral ground for the transformer shall be interconnected with the grounding network.
Conductors for neutral ground and LV switchboard shall be sized according to the system
short circuit current.
