Grounding Studies
The main driver of a ground system study is to protect workers from "step potential" hazards, which result from currents that generate high enough voltages to become lethal at distances as short as one human step. To eliminate these hazards, Vertiv's ERS engineers will do a grid and ground potential analysis and will perform other relevant measurements and modeling to optimize the design of a ground system to effectively shunt the fault current to the earth, away from workers and equipment.

Grounding of electrical equipment protects your personnel and equipment from over-voltages, faults, and lightning. It ensures system voltage stability by providing a solid reference to earth. Grounding also establishes a reference to control electrical noise that can interfere with proper operation of your electrical equipment. Periodic testing to verify grounding system integrity is essential for safeguarding your operations and overall business.
Keeping up with the rapid advances in technology and the increasing demand for improved power and reliability is a challenge for today’s electrical asset managers. Relay upgrades and replacements allow you to replace your obsolete protection system and take advantage of the advancements in protection technology without the expense of installing new switchgear.
