Power System Earthing and Design, Level 1

A competent earthing design is an absolute prerequisite to protect lives from the harmful effects of high-voltage, which exist during a fault situation. This 4-day course aims to provide attendees with a unique opportunity to acquire practical and up-to-date engineering knowledge on how to study and design efficient, economical HV Power System Earthing mitigation systems. It aims to explain and demystify many of the misconceptions, ambiguities and common errors found in earthing practice.

What you'll learn

1

Introductions & Earthing Module

Get up to speed with the team and the core scientific principles behind electrical earthing, tested with a short quiz.

2

Building the Model

Import CAD files and soil data, set up model geometry, and calculate Step and Touch voltage thresholds in XGSLab.

3

Analysing the Results

Examine EPR/GPR and 3D output plots to identify where the greatest electrical stresses occur in your design.

4

Troubleshooting & Exam

Work through common modelling errors, then sit the Level 1 exam to earn your XGSLab certification.

Pre-Existing Knowledge

Underpinning knowledge is assumed — either by life experience or academically acquired.

Delivered in plain, easy-to-understand English, and each delegate is led through the scientific principles behind earthing concepts and may include calculation.
