Abstract:
This project aims to Upgrading of Earthing System for Kilo-x Substation,
Components starting from the current transformers, voltage transformers, power transformers, lightning arresters, circuit breakers and bus-bar arrangement.
The project also provides ground grid system by using ETAP software program because it is easy to Upgrading and calculate the step potential, the touch potential, the total length of Earthing mat conductors, the size of Earthing mat conductors and the total number of Earthing rod in order to reach the best possible Upgrading of Earthing System for Kilo-x Substation. Kilo-X substation was implemented as the study case, from simulation results obtained, there is a difference between the existing ground design scheme and that obtained with ETAP.
