Standard Specifications for Temporary Protective Grounds to Be Used on De-energized Electric Power Lines and Equipment
1.1 These specifications cover the equipment making up the temporary grounding system used on de-energized electric power lines, electric supply stations, and equipment.
1.2 It is common practice for the users of protective grounding equipment to prepare complete instructions and regulations to govern in detail the correct use and maintenance of such equipment.
1.3 The uses and maintenance of this equipment are beyond the scope of these specifications.
1.4 These specifications for a system of protective grounding utilizing copper cables are covered in four parts, as follows:
Sections | ||
Clamps for Temporary Protective Grounds | 4-16 | |
Ferrules for Temporary Protective Grounds | 17-30 | |
Cables for Temporary Protective Grounds | 31-39 | |
Protective Grounds (Complete Assembly With Clamps, Ferrules, and Cable) | 40-52 |
1.5 Each of the four parts is an entity of itself, but is listed as a part of the system for completeness and clarification.
1.6 The values stated in Newton-Meter units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are the inch-pound units.
1.7 Currents presented in Table 1 and Table 2 are based upon cable melting times, as determined from equations by I. M. Onderdonk. See Appendix X3.
1.7.1 Currents presented in were determined by use of EPRI Project RP2446 Computer Program RTGC "A Desktop Computer Program for Calculating Rating of Temporary Grounding Cables."
1.7.2 See Appendix X3 and Appendix X4 for a discussion of these values.
