Ari Tirroniemi, an application engineer at #OMICRON, explains why grounding systems are essential for the safe and reliable operation of electrical power systems.

Improper #grounding systems may not be able to carry total fault currents.
This may cause damage to primary assets such as #transformers.
It may even harm or destroy the functionality of electronic devices, like protection relays and communication equipment.

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
00:08 - Grounding systems are an essential part of electrical power systems.
00:37 - Dangerous step and touch voltages can occur inside and outside a substation.
00:50 - Use CPC 100 and the coupling unit, CP CU1 to verify the condition of your grounding system.
01:16 - Safety: Line fault currents of up to 30.000 amperes are safely diverted to the ground.
01:28 - With our solution, the assessment is carried out according to IEC and IEEE standards.
01:35 - The CPC 100 uses the Frequency Selective Method (FSM) to inject a test current into the grounding system to provide very reliable results.
01:55 - The test current can be injected via power line injection or a current probe injection.
02:13 - With our hand-held measuring device HGT1, resulting voltages of the injection can easily be measured and recorded.
02:47 - Measurement points can be combined with pictures or maps, including GPS location, to obtain proper documentation.
03:02 - Summary: Here are 3 things to keep in mind.

In this episode, Florian Fink, OMICRON product manager and circuit breaker testing enthusiast, talks about the importance of medium-voltage circuit breaker testing. He describes, for example, how medium-voltage circuit breaker testing differs from high-voltage circuit breaker testing, what are the typical tests and how often should they be performed. Florian also offers insights into what should be considered during off-line as well as in-service testing on medium-voltage circuit breakers.

Birkir Heimisson is a Specialist in Digital and Smart-Grid Development at Landsnet, Iceland.
At the OMICRON Online Conference ”The Future of Substation Automation and Digital Substations", he will present Landsnet’s story since the decision in 2019 that all new and refurbished substations should be made as fully digital.

We called him at work to have a quick chat about his mission. If you want to learn more about Birkir’s experience join us on September 29 and register online: events.omicronenergy.com/iec61850

At this conference we invite you to discuss the challenges of substation automation and digital substation technologies with experts from the European utilities Qirion, Landsnet, Fingrid and Helen presenting interesting case studies alongside in-depth technical presentations from OMICRON experts. You can find detailed information about the speakers and their presentations at the above website.
