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.
This course aims to explain and demystify many of the misconceptions, ambiguities and common errors found in earthing design today. Learn how to avoid the familiar sources of error in measurements and get the very best in the latest thinking and best-practice.
Who is the course aimed at?:
- Design engineers seeking formal proof of competence
- People who seek a higher level of technical confidence when working on, discussing, analysing, troubleshooting projects involving earthing
- Engineers/Project managers from electrical disciplines
- Graduate engineers and lecturers
- Electrical engineers involved in delivering projects with earthing or earthing design risk factors
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.
Sectors:
- Power generation and renewable energy
- Power distribution and utilities
- Data Centres
- Refineries
- Rail

Course Outline and Schedule
The course divided into four discrete topics, which follow a natural practical design process:
