Generally, the busbar side of 10kV switchgear does not have a dedicated earthing switch. It's essential for safe equipment maintenance. This prevents accidents caused by. As far as I know, we ground all devices to each other and then to Earth Ground to avoid harmful potential voltages between different devices/ metal casings (equipotential bonding right?!) On the other hand, using a system ground allows you to FUSE only the POSITIVE leads, instead of fuse both sides. For systems with 110kV and above, where the neutral point is effectively grounded, the metal sheath of single-core cables should be directly connected to the substation grounding device through a grounding switch. At the terminal stations where cables transition to overhead lines in systems of. The paint isn't required to be scraped off if there are at least two full threads of engagement between the ground bar screws and the enclosure. The advantage is that the zero sequence impedance of the 110kV side is stable, which is beneficial to the calculation and. Taking the newly added 10kV power distribution system of a nuclear power plant as an example, this paper briefly analyzes the methods and principles of neutral grounding demonstration of distribution network, and provides a referential solution for subsequent similar projects.
