Four Core Areas of CDEGS Training
Overview of Relevant Standards
Understand key international and Indian standards for earthing design, including IEC 60364 for low voltage, IEC 61936-1 for substations, and IEEE 80, ensuring safe and compliant grounding systems.
Common Earthing Challenges
Designing an effective earthing system is complex due to factors like high soil resistivity, unsafe step and touch voltages, uneven fault current distribution, grid design limitations, and corrosion of grounding conductors over time.
Importance of CDEGS in Earthing System
Understand CDEGS for safe grounding design — soil modeling, fault simulation, step & touch analysis, EMI studies, grid optimization, and standards compliance.
Key Outputs from CDEGS
Understand key outputs generated by CDEGS, including ground grid resistance, step & touch voltage profiles, Ground Potential Rise (GPR), current distribution in conductors, and surface potential contour plots for effective grounding analysis.
