Installation and Maintenance of Grounding Networks for 30/11 kV Stations

Grounding (earthing) systems are fundamental to the safety, reliability, and performance of electrical substations. In 30/11 kV stations, properly designed and maintained grounding networks ensure effective fault current dissipation, protection of equipment, and safety of personnel against electric shock.

This 10-day advanced training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a comprehensive understanding of grounding system design, installation, testing, and maintenance. It integrates theoretical principles with practical field applications, focusing on compliance with international standards such as IEEE 80 and IEC guidelines.

Participants will gain the expertise required to design, install, test, and maintain grounding systems in substations, ensuring safety and operational excellence.
