The IEEE Std 80-2013 provides guidelines for the design and testing of earthing systems. A well-designed earthing system ensures the safety of people and equipment during fault conditions. The case study presented in this paper demonstrates the design of an earthing system for a substation using the IEEE Std 80-2013. The results show that the earthing system designed using the IEEE Std 80-2013 meets the safety criteria and provides a safe path for fault currents to flow to the earth.
The standard covers the safety considerations for personnel and equipment working on or near transmission and distribution systems, including: ieee std 80 2013 pdf download work
