Abstract:
Information about grounding methods for generating station instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment is provided. The identification of I&C equipment methods to achieve both a suitable level of protection for personnel and equipment is included, as well as suitable noise immunity for signal ground references in generating stations. Both ideal theoretical methods and accepted practices in the electric utility industry are presented.
Scope:
This application guide was developed to identify instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment grounding methods to achieve both a suitable level of protection for personnel and equipment, and to provide suitable electric noise immunity for signal ground references in generating stations. Both ideal theoretical methods and accepted practices in the electric utility industry are presented. Special applications relating to advanced energy storage and conversion technologies (photovoltaics, fuel cells, etc.) have not been considered. This guide is intended to provide information about grounding methods for generating station I&C equipment. Grounding design is nor...
Purpose:
The typical environment in a generating station provides many sources of electrical noise, such as the switching of large inductive loads, high fault currents, static switching, and high-energy, high-frequency transients associated with switching at the generator or transmission voltage level. The increasing use of solid-state equipment, computer- or microprocessor-based control, and signal multiplexing systems in these applications introduces a number of specific concerns with respect to electrical noise control. This guide discusses methods for the grounding of instrumentation and control equipment and their associated circuits in generating stations. It i...
