The Basics of Grounding Modeling and Design – lunch & learn – will go over the basics of grounding design for substations applications. The webinar will review what happens during a fault, the risk to personnel, what goes into a typical grounding model, and how to interpret the results. The lunch & learn will also introduce the various types of testing techniques to serve as inputs for grounding models as well as post installation verification of models and safe touch and step potentials. While this lunch & learn presentation isn’t supposed to be a complete how-to guide to complete a design or test, it will introduce utility engineers about the grounding study process, and how to interpret the results of a grounding report, and help them understand the often underrated importance of testing.
