This tutorial is designed for newcomers or more experience professionals who would like a refresher on the fundamentals. This interactive tutorial will provide teachings and exercises on some of the most important aspects of earthing design:

  • Fundamental concepts such as EPR, step/touch voltages, transfer and mesh voltages.
  • The earthing design process and calculations for simple earthing systems.
  • Introduction to safety criteria and the benefits of probabilistic risk analysis.
  • Soil resistivity and its importance in voltage calculations and risk assessment.
  • Undertaking a risk based earthing design using the ENA EG0 framework.
