Largest Off-Grid Poultry Farm in Australia
11kV private distribution network with 4.5km of overhead lines, switchgear, transformers, earthing, battery systems and substations.
Earth Testing
Evaluation of HV earthing systems that goes beyond basic in-service resistance checks.
What it is
A compliant earth system is essential for the safe operation of high voltage distribution. If a fault occurs, the earthing system must carry fault current safely and keep the voltages people could touch within safe limits.
SPS goes beyond basic “in service” resistance measurements to deliver comprehensive evaluations of earthing systems.
When your site needs it
- Commissioning a new substation, switchroom or HV installation
- After changes to the network, plant or site layout
- Periodic checks of existing earthing systems
- After a fault, lightning strike or damage to earthing conductors
What’s included
- Soil resistivity testing
- Earth resistance testing
- Step and touch potential testing
- Compliance verification and reporting
[TODO] Client to confirm this list of inclusions for Earth Testing.
