Touch Voltage Analysis in Low-Voltage Power Systems Studies

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2015
The touch voltage analysis in low-voltage installation, i.e., the calculation of magnitudes and durations of touch potentials, is not normally included in standard power systems studies. In addition, this analysis is of paramount importance for the protection of persons against electric shock in the event of failure of basic insulation of equipment or ...

Field Measurements Of Touch And Step Voltages

IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1984
This paper presents the study of a measurement technique for touch and step voltages and the results of measurements obtained inside and outside substations. Details of a low-voltage and a highvoltage method of current injection are given. Setups for measuring the shock touch voltage and shock step voltage are characterized, in which the effect of foot

Simplified conservative measurements of touch and step voltages

1999 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (Cat. No.99CH36371), 2003
Protection against electric shock requires grounding systems that must be designed primarily to keep touch voltage (E/sub t/) and step voltage (E/sub s/) to a safe value. Testing of the efficiency of a grounding system is mandatory to verify the capability to satisfy the protection requirements at the end of the construction and periodically in the ...

Touch voltage protection on Singapore MRT system

2005 International Power Engineering Conference, 2005
This paper generally describes the various touch voltage protection measures adopted mass rapid transit (MRT) systems. Particular reference is drawn from the practices adopted in the Singapore MRT system. There are potential hazards of electric shocks to passengers and working staff touching conductive surfaces of different voltage potentials e.g ...

An alternative approach for touch and step voltages measurement in high-voltage substations

Electric Power Systems Research, 2016
Abstract This paper presents the study of a measurement technique for touch and step voltages. In essence, we elaborate an approach which is very similar to the measurement of the grounding system impedance. In addition, the main focus is on the measurements at energized substation where different types of coupling between the test leads, grounding ...

Touch voltages on underground distribution systems during fault conditions

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1990
Underground distribution lines are usually installed in duct banks with manholes placed at regular intervals for easy installation of the line hardware and ready access for maintenance purposes. During work in these manholes, tough voltages may occur on the line under repair as a result of a fault on another line.

Analysis of Touch Voltage in TN-S Earthing System

2018 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2018 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe), 2018
This paper presents touch voltage analysis in TN-S connected earth system. For this purpose, calculation of touch voltages and touch durations (as per IEEE and International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) standards) with equivalent formulas is done for different sizes of cable and protective conductor (PE). Cable ampacity calculations for underground
