Electrical Earthing Training Programs
We offer specialized electrical earthing training courses in a variety of lengths, from half day courses to full day (or longer) seminars. We provide customized electrical earthing training and electrical earthing training to companies as well as “open to the public” electrical earthing training courses in a host city through sponsoring organizations.
Our electrical earthing and bonding training programs are designed for:
- Utility and Industrial Electrical Engineers and Engineering Technicians
- Project Engineers
- Design Engineers
- Field Technicians
- Electrical Technicians
- Electricians
- Plant Operators
- Plant Engineers
- Electrical Supervisors
Electrical earthing training subject matter can include:
- Sphere of Influence Theory
- Advantages/disadvantages of various earthing electrodes
- How to properly connect these electrodes into the earthing system
- Types of bonds that are acceptable and where to use them
- Resistance-to-Earth testing
- Soil Resistivity testing
- Basics of earthing system design
- How earthing can resolve human safety issues in high-voltage environments
- The impact of lightning strikes on earthing systems
- The basic principles of earthing of medium and high voltage electrical systems
- Protective or Safety earthing systems
- Safe and unsafe working conditions
- Design considerations of a earthing grid for medium and high voltage
- Measuring of earth resistance, resistivity in substations
- Protection of substations from lightning energy
We also offer a specialized electrical earthing and bonding training course covering the proper use of earthing engineering and simulation software such as how use the RESAP Module of the CDEGS program for analyzing soil resistivity data. This course further covers how to use the MALT and/or MALZ modules to calculate the expected resistance-to-earth of basic earthing electrode configurations.
