Grounding in Power System Presentation
The presentation discusses the importance of grounding in power systems for safety, equipment protection, and building protection from lightning strikes. It covers types of grounding including solid grounding, resistance grounding, reactance grounding, and resonant grounding. Measurement instruments and calculation procedures for proper grounding are also reviewed. Lack of proper grounding can cause electric shocks, fires, and equipment damage. IEEE standards provide guidelines for industrial and commercial grounding systems.
Electrical fault is the deviation of voltages and currents from nominal values or states. Under normal operating conditions, power system equipment or lines carry normal voltages and currents which results in a safer operation of the system.

Grounding or earthing offers two principal advantages. First, it provides protection to the power system. Secondly, earthing of electrical equipment ensures the safety of the persons handling the equipment.
Since the loads having the trends towards growing density. This requires the better appearance, rugged construction, greater service reliability and increased safety. An underground cable essentially consists of one or more conductors covered with suitable insulation and surrounded by a protecting cover. The interference from external disturbances like storms, lightening, ice, trees etc. should be reduced to achieve trouble free service. The cables may be buried directly in the ground, or may be installed in ducts buried in the ground.
This PPT explains about the circuit breaker, and its types. Then about the need and purpose of the circuit breaker. And finally the testing and types of testing of circuit breakers.

Grounding:
A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental, bywhich an electric circuit or equipment is connected to the earth, or to someconducting body of relatively large extent that serves in place of the earth.
Grounded system:
A system of conductors in which at least one conductor or point (usually the middle wire or neutral point of transformer or generator windings) is intentionally grounded, either solidly or through an impedance.
Grounded solidly:
Connected directly through an adequate ground connection in which no impedance has been intentionally inserted.
Grounded effectively:
Grounded through a sufficiently low impedance such that for all system conditions the ratio of zero sequence reactance to positive sequence reactance (X0/X1) is positive and less than 3, and the ratio of zero sequence resistance to positive sequence reactance (R0/X1) is positive and less than 1.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

4. A safety measure to prevent people from shocked.
In scientific terms ,It is a process which involves transferring of short
circuited or any leakage currents in to ground during abnormal conditions.
It provides low resistance path to divert the currents into the ground.
It is commonly termed as “Earthing”.
Electrical earthing is carried out by connecting the neutral part of the supply
system to the ground.
Low resistance conductor is best employed in the process of Grounding.
5. • A properly grounded device doesn’t leak out any
current.This prevents humans from getting shocked
during fault conditions.
Human safety
• Earthing provides stability to electronic equipment.
This helps in preventing damage to the equipment
against over currents and avoids replacement costs.
Safety of Electrical
Equipment
• Earthing device like ,lightning arrestors, which are
placed at the highest point of the building and
connected to the ground via conducting wire or
plate and this prevents damage to structure.

3 Reasons for employing Grounding:
9. • It means that there is no impedance placed intentionally
between the neutral and ground.
• Neutral of the electrical system is directly connected to
ground.
• This system of Grounding is used for voltages up to
33 kV with total power capacity not exceeding 5000 kVA
Solid Grounding means the Neutral of
electrical system is directly connected to the ground and
there is no addition impedance in the circuit.
11. Advantages Disadvantages
• Neutral is effectively held at earth
potential.
• Heavy Earth Fault currents may
interfere neighboring communication
circuits.
• Permits easy operation of earth fault
relay .
• Difficult to operate circuit breaker due
to heavy earth fault currents.
• No arcing Ground. • Not economical beyond a voltage of
33kv
• Easy to setup .
• Installation cost is economical .
12. Usually employed where the circuit impedance is high
,to keep the earth fault current within safe limits.
Used for voltages up to 33 kV with total power
capacity not exceeding 5000 kVA.
13. Resistance Grounding is when an electrical power system
has a connection between neutral line and the ground through resistor.
Here, resistor is used to limit the fault current through a neutral line.
• A high resistance conductor is used to
provide the connection between
neutral and ground.
High resistance

• A low resistance conductor is used to
• provide the connection between
neutral and ground.
Low resistance

15. Advantages Disadvantages
• Minimizes hazards of arcing Grounds. • Costlier than the solid grounded
system.
• Less interference to the neighboring
communication circuits.
• Enormous energy loss due to power
dissipation in Grounding resistor.
• Power dissipation in the resistor may
improve the system stability.
• Equipment needs to be highly
insulated for higher voltages.
16. It is used on a system operating at
voltages between 2.2 kV and 33 kV
with power source capacity more
than 5000 kVA.
17. Reactance Grounding is when an
electrical system has a connection between neutral and
the ground through reactor. Here, reactor is used to limit
the fault current through a neutral line.
• Fault current is depend on the magnitude of reactance in the
neutral line.
• It’s characteristics are similar to solid Grounding system.
• It is lies in between solid Grounding and Resonant
Grounding.
19. Advantages Disadvantages
• Arcing grounds are avoided. • Equipment may be insulated for higher
voltages.
• Satisfactory operation of ground fault
protection equipment.
• It is costlier than solid Grounding
system.
• Less interference to the neighboring
communication circuits.
• High transient voltages appear during
fault conditions.
20. Used for the neutral of circuits where high
charging currents are involved such as
transmission lines, underground cables,
synchronous motors, synchronous
capacitors etc.
21. Resonant Grounding is when an
electrical power system has a connection between
neutral line and the ground through arc suppression coil.
Here, arc suppression coil is used to limit the fault current
through a neutral line.
• The value of inductance in the arc suppression coil limits the
fault current and exactly balances the capacitive current ,
thereby it is called as “Resonant Grounding”.
• Arc suppression coil is also called as “Peterson coil” and the
Grounding has another name called “Peterson coil
Grounding”.

23. Advantages Disadvantages
• It is completely effective in avoiding
arcing ground hazards.
• Lines are needed to transposed.
• It is having the advantages of
ungrounded system.
• The capacitance values changes
automatically due to various
operating conditions ,so there is a
need of changing inductance value
accordingly.

31. In order to setup proper Grounding ,resistance of the ground is taken
into the consideration.
Following instruments are employed in measuring the resistance of the
ground are:
33. There are 4 most commonly used methods for measuring the resistance of ground are:
• Simple way of finding ground resistance, but gives less accurate values .
2-point (Dead Earth) method
• Most reliable method of obtaining ground resistance.
3-point (fall of potential) method
• Most commonly and widely used method for finding ground resistance.
The values obtained are more accurate .
4-point method
• Quick and easiest method of finding ground resistance and also
effective method of finding resistance
Clamp on method
34. Identify soil type and
measure the resistance of the
soil.
Design initial Earth Grid.
Calculate resistance/impedance
for the designed grid
Calculate rise of potential
If the designed earth grid is perfect for
the given requirement ,then it goes to
final design otherwise it undergoes
redesigning process.
