Six core activities in the commissioning of the earthing system.Posted by Deepak

Testing of the earthing system

Commissioning of new earthing system is essential as a validation step for the design andinstallation process and for the design inputs. In most cases commissioning should measure the outputs of the earthing system in terms of produced voltages and current distributions rather than solely resistance.Rajesh

The commissioning should consider closely the key performance criteria identified in the hazard identification and treatment analysis phases.

Commissioning will determine the earthing system initial compliance and set a benchmark or baseline for ongoing supervision.

As it is not always possible to foresee all hazard mechanisms at the design stage commissioning testing should also determine the need for any localised secondary mitigation and any additional requirements for telecommunication coordination and pipeline interference coordination or mitigation.
