Description

The course will focus on the most important parameters of the grounding systems.
The measurement of the soil and the calculation of the GPR-Ground Potential Rise; Touch and Step Voltage Potential, also the selection of the Ground Rods and ground mesh as well as the maintenance and required measurements for an existing ground system.

Objective

  • How to perform the soil resistance measurements;
  • Select the proper Grounding System using the CSA Standard or Electrical Calculations
  • Calculate the Ground Potential Rise and study the effect of different ground interconnections
  • How to perform measurements for an existing grounding system
  • Provide solution for a Grounding System if is not performing as expected
  • Calculate the touch and step potential for worst case scenario

Target Audience

Electrical Engineers and Technicians

After you attend this course/workshop, you will be able to

  • Perform correct soil measurement
  • Select the proper types of roads and number to achieve the desired outcome
  • Perform Grounding Measurements for an existing system
  • Provide solutions for a existing grounding system if does not meet the parameters
  • Calculate the GPR; Touch and Step Potential of a Grounding System

The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:

  • Once you register for this course, you will be sent a login username and password for our online distance website.

  • You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.

  • A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).

  • Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.

  • To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
