5 FAQ’s about Earthing Fault Theory

Electrical Earthing Fault Theory

This video should give you an idea of what we do and how the earthing fault theory works.

  1. How does fault theory work?
  2. Why is it necessary to model/simulate my scheme?
  3. What’s the latest standard I need to work to?
  4. How does simulation help?
  5. Is my scheme or current setup ‘vulnerable’?

This Earthing Fault Theory video will go some way to answering the first question, and we will be covering the other questions over time, but if you need answers now, why not click this link and schedule in a free 30 minute consultation …

How well designed is your substation and its protection systems

Today is just another day at your local HV substation. Inside, the transformers gently hum and switchgear sit idle. Outside, a neighbour’s neglected tree loses a branch, which clashes with an overhead line. Ask yourself: What happens next? That depends on the substation design and their protection systems, which are the focus of this post. […]

I thought I’d continue from my last blog piece talking about heavy current injection earth testing. By talking about a key application where it can potentially deliver much better results than the modern CDEGS approach on your earthing arrangements. Many industrial sites were built in the 1950s and 60s as industrialisation grew. This, in line […]

Lightning Risk Assessment

Ever needed a quick response Lightning Protection Risk assessment service? Here is something we’ve tried to make incredibly easy for you to use. You can now order and pay online, and the risk assessment to IEC 62305-2 can be turned around within a week with our premium service, or two weeks on our normal service.

I recently attended a training session with Omicron in Germany, looking at their primary injection test set for earth electrode and line impedance testing. We looked at how to set up a current injection, potentially up to 100 A, down an Overhead line or Feeder cable to achieve good separation between the electrode under test […]

winter scene

Here’s a slight departure from the usual technical blog – so, the holiday’s are a distant memory, yet, the scene outside my window right now looks like something out of “A Christmas Carol”, by Charles Dickens. This time of year is a strange one for us; both December and January are truncated by the holidays […]
