Earthing Substations
Thorne & Derrick International are distributors for the ABB Furse and AN Wallis range of Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems – this includes earth rods, earth bars, earth tapes and a full supporting range of accessories to comprise the complete earthing system for electricity transmission and distribution systems.
The copper products are used typically to provide electricity substation earthing to medium/high voltage grids containing electrical infrastructure, cables, switchgear and transformers. Furthermore, it is usual for all exposed and normally un-energised metalwork inside the substation perimeter, including doors, staircases, ventilation ducts, cable supports etc to be be bonded to the main earth grid to avoid any potential differences between different items of metalwork.
Guidelines and policies vary according to the Distribution Network Operator – specialist contractors using modern earthing techniques compliant with relevant British and international standards, including BS 7430:2011+A1:2015 Code of Practice For Earthing and IEEE80-2000 Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding should be employed to calculate specific substation earthing requirements.
A final design of the earthing system can only be undertaken when sufficient knowledge is available of the proposed physical and electrical requirements of the substation – as an absolute minimum the earthing system desginer must have knowledge of:
- value of fault current and supply arrangements (overhead and/or underground cable)
- fault duration (or protection settings)
- soil resistivity
- substation dimensions
The specification for fixed earthing systems within EHV, HV, HV/MV and LV substations also applied to terminal towers adjacent to substations and cable sealing end compounds, pole mounted transformer or air-break switch disconnector installations and pole mounted reclosers with ground level control.

For MV & HV Substations
Earthing products and systems can be supplied by T&D for all substation voltages:
- MV Medium Voltage 11kV 33kV
- High Voltage 66kV 132kV
- Extra High Voltage EHV 275kV 400kV
T&D provide expert technical support, competitive prices and delivery from stock for substation earthing projects – all earthing products are available to meet the design criteria and construction specification of the earthing systems for substations and equipment for 33kV and 132kV substations.
This include copper earth tapes with typical dimensions 32mm x 4, 40mm x 6mm, 50mm x 4mm and 50mm x 6mm.
With respect to high voltage earthing applications in the power utility sector the following items would normally be earthed or bonded to the main earth grid:
- Overhead line termination structures including towers, gantries and earthed wood pole structures adjacent to the substation
- Power cable sheaths and armours
- Transformer and reactor banks, cooler and radiators, tap changers, earthing resistors, earthing reactors, high voltage transformer neutral connections
- Metal clad switchgear assemblies and cases, isolators and earth switch bases
- Metal gantries and structures and metalwork mounted on wood structures
- Metallic structures including steel frames (bonded at each corner) rebars and piles
- Panels, cubicles, kiosks, LV AC equipment, lighting and security masts
It is usual for critical items such as medium/high voltage transformer tanks and terminal towers to have duplicate connections to the main earth grid.
11kV Substations
Pictured above is a diagram showing the typical layout of a high voltage GRP electricity substation distributing 11kV power – an outer ring of 70sqmm copper earthing conductor plus 4 earth rods of standard depth are shown with a 10 metre tail in the HV cable trench accompanied by a layout for the concrete rebar. Here, the HV substation is contained within a GRP enclosure with potential touch and step voltage risks.
Earth tapes are available stamped with the UK DNO ownership details to discourage copper metal theft – earth tapes printed “National Grid Property” are also available.
Full range of copperbond earth rods, couplings and driving studs are available for grid and primary substation earthing depending upon the calculated fault level.

- E – Earth electrode (copper earth rod)
- UE – Earth potential rise (EPR)
- S1, S2, S3 – Potential grading earth electrodes connected to the earth electrode E
- US Touch – Source voltage for touching (Touch Voltage)
- US Step – Source voltage for stepping (Step Voltage)
Touch Voltage
The potential on the surface of the soil near a copper earth rod during the time that fault current flows. If a person were to touch a rod (or any exposed metalwork connected to it), then the potential difference experienced between hands and feet is termed the touch voltage. Touch voltages are calculated assuming that the feet of the person are 1 metre away from the metalwork being touched. Touch voltages are normally reduced by using potential grading electrodes.
Step Voltage
Potential differences are established on the surface of the soil whilst fault current is flowing. Step voltage in a particular direction is defined as the potential difference between two points a metre part. Step potentials can be reduced by using potential grading copper electrodes or installation electrodes, such as copper earth rods, at a greater soil depth.
Transfer Potential
A potential rise of an earthing system caused by a current flowing to earth, transferred by means of a connected conductor (eg metallic sheath or pipe), which enters a substation area, with little or no potential rise relative to reference earth, and which is not connected to earth in that area. This results in a potential difference occurring between the conductor and its surroundings at the remote position.
Electrical Safety – Maintaining & Repair Of Earthing Systems
Substation earthing systems are the victim of operational and intentional damage – copper theft is rife and earthing maintenance work is often identified during routine site checks and inspection. Earth faults can be weekly occurrences on primary substations supplying extended high voltage rural overhead line networks. During these maintenance tasks there is serious risk of injury or even fatal electric shock when working on depleted or damaged earthing systems – specialist electrical safety equipment including insulated sticks, poles or rods, portable earth shorting leads, earthing clamps (substation or line-end), insulating footwear (shoes or boots) and insulating gloves depending on the voltage class of the substation earthing system.

Cable Jointing In Confined Spaces
-
by Chris Dodds - Sales & Marketing Manager Thorne & Derrick
Prior to jointing cables in confined spaces control measures and risk assessment must be undertaken. This picture was taken from outside the manhole once the cable joint was complete – the looped cables were spliced using 3M Scotchcast cable joints to effect a repair to damaged cables in a confined space.
Initially the cable jointers bump test their gas detectors then gas sample the manhole with the lid on for the presence of harmful, flammable or toxic gas.
If all is safe to proceed the jointers remove the lid. Next the working space is vented with forced air while the jointers constantly monitor the confined space with their gas detectors. Access to the manhole is via a wooden ladder with the cable jointers wearing a rescue harness – a tripod and winch are positioned and a gate guard around the manhole is erected to prevent trips, falls or accidents.
The cable is jointed within the manhole to prevent overbending strains on the low voltage cable when fed back into the manhole if jointed at ground level – cable duct seals can be used to prevent the migration of flammable gas or flood waters into the manhole.
The 500kcmil 100 volt rated DC cable circuit is operating at 600 volt – the cable joint/splice utilises 3M Scotch Electrical Tapes with no heat shrink or cold shrink tubing.

11kV Switchgear Cable Terminations, Jointing & Spiking In High Voltage Substations
December 4th, 2017
Jointing, Terminating & Installation of 11kV Substation Cables
Guest Post from Mick Beeby - Technical & Operations Manager at UK Power Solutions Ltd
Uploaded by Chris Dodds - Thorne & Derrick Sales & Marketing Manager
“I spent a couple of days on site this week with one of our team of Operations Engineers, connecting 4 new ESP adopted 11kV high voltage substations on Phase 2B of the Ballymore Royal Wharf Development in London.
UKPS have provided the electrical infrastructure for Phase 1, 2A and now 2B to date.
This includes 1 x UKPN 11kV boundary substation with 2 RMUs, 1 x SSE 11kV boundary substation with 2 RMUs, 11 x ESP 11kV permanent distribution substations and 1 x ESP 11kV TBS installed and disconnected again, 1 x UKPN 11kV metered TBS to private high voltage transformer.
There are more ESP 11kV distribution substations to install in Q1 2018. This now takes us to 10 of a final 12 total on this ESP 11kV ring.
An IEC was received from SSE for the DNO/iDNO boundary end of the ESP 11kV circuit, which was made Dead, Isolated and Earthed before the 11kV cables were identified and cables spiked under a Sanction-for-Test. A Permit-to-Work was then issued for the 11kV cable jointing, followed by pressure testing under another Sanction-for-Test and final energisation and 11kV phase checks to bring 4 new 11kV high voltagew substations onto the system.”

1 of 4 new ESP 11kV high voltage substations connected on this visit, taking the total on this ESP 11kV ring to 4 substations, and 11 on the Ballymore Royal Wharf development so far.

2 x 3c 11kV polymeric SSE specification straight cable joints of TE Connectivity MXSU series, to loop 4 high voltage substations into the existing ring of 4, making 8 total.

5 Way Transformer Mounted Cabinet post energisation testing. 5 outgoing LV circuits to the multi-occupancy buildings on Phase 2b of the Royal Wharf development.

Drum Heating & Cable Straightening Jackets For 132kV Extra High Voltage Cable Terminations
November 30th, 2017
- Application: Drum Heating & Cable Heating HV EHV
- Drum Heater Type: Heating Jacket For Silicone Oil Drums
- Contractor: Matthew Taffs (CRS Ltd) – EHV Cable Jointer & Director

- Featured Product: Thorne & Derrick Drum Heater HF5-D
- Extra High Voltage Cable Type: 132kV Prysmian Single Core XLPE 800sqmm
Terminating 132kV Cables
Cable Oil & Drum Heating

Drum Heaters
Cable heating jackets are initially used to heat the EHV cable to enable relaxing and straightening of the high voltage power cable prior to cable preparation and stripping using cable jointing tools – typically the cable heaters provide a stable temperature of 85 degrees Celsius (185F) for at least 12 hours to the XLPE cable to improve cable manipulation for the HV jointer.
Straightening tubes are then applied to the heated cable and allowed to cool.
The following day cable jointing commences.
The drum heating jacket is applied around the oil drum (silicone oil) and heated to a temperature between 105 – 115 degrees Celsius.
This is done firstly and most importantly to ensure there is no moisture in the oil and secondly to make the oil thinner so it can be pumped into the high voltage cable termination. Once the oil has reached a temperature exceeding 105 degrees Celsius the cable jointer can check with a flash light the condition of the oil.
The heated oil should remain clear with no signs of bubbles, white clouds or foaming.
The oil is then pumped from the drum into the cable terminations insulator to a measurement given on the drawing/ cable jointing instruction. Once the insulator is full to the required measurements, the top is then bolted on and then the cable jointer must press crimp the connector using hexagonal process (HEX) at the correct positions.
T&D supply an extensive range of High Voltage Jointing & Electrical Equipment to enable cable lubrication, cable pulling and installation of 66kV/132kV power cable systems – this includes 132kV surge arresters for electrical protection against overvoltages caused by lightning strike and switching operations.

Pictured: T&D drum heater providing consistent and stable electric surface heating to oil drums for EHV cable termination installations.

In order to achieve the required drum heating temperature of 100+ degrees Celsius the heater jacket was used in conjunction with a base drum heater to accelerate the high temperature heating requirement of the oil – you can see the plate of the base drum heater in the photo below.

Do Insulating Gloves Provide Arc Flash Protection?
November 30th, 2017
Electrical Safety Equipment | Insulating Gloves | Arc Flash Gloves

uploaded by Chris Dodds - Thorne & Derrick Sales & Marketing Manager
There are a lot of misconceptions about arc flash clothing and protection levels required including what actually is a flash of light or an arc of fire. Similar to an electric shock but not the same as usually there is not direct contact with electricity.
Arc flash is a serious issue with more than 30,000 incidents that result in 400 fatalities every year. So how can you protect your hands from this deadly killer and do insulating gloves provide arc flash protection? Or are special application arc flash gloves required?
The below Blog from Scanwear delves deeper into the issue.
One question that comes up all the time during electrical safety training is whether or not an electrician’s rubber insulating gloves offer any protection from Arc Flash?
Interestingly enough, even though you probably won’t find a label on the insulating glove that says so, rubber insulating gloves used in conjunction with leather protectors do offer sufficient protection from arc flash burns.
Now we are talking about arc flash protection but don’t forget why you are wearing the gloves in the first place. That needs to be your primary concern when it comes to protecting your hands. Once you’ve got that taken care of you can worry about arc flash.
Is This Legitimate?
The industry standard for electrical safety, NFPA70E, does not offer much information about how to size your gloves for arc flash protection or how to determine the incident energy rating for your gloves but we are led to believe that they have done some testing and feel comfortable saying that the rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors will protect you from an arc flash.
Here is what it says in the standard:
“If rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors are used, additional leather or arc-rated gloves shall not be required. The combination of rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors satisfies the arc flash protection requirement.”
That note applies to an arc flash PPE category of 4 which requires a minimum of 40 cal/cm2 protection. So that gives the user a good level of comfort that the gloves offer great protection from arc flash.
How Can You Prove It?
Up until June 2013, the amount of arc flash protection was determined by the thickness of the leather protectors. That year though a new standard for testing gloves was approved and testing started immediately. Because thickness of the gloves was not part of the criteria for meeting the standard manufacturers are now coming out with thinner leather gloves that still offer the maximum protection against arc flash.
Something you might want to look into with your supplier of arc flash clothing, garments and protection including helmets and gloves.
Also, traditional rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors were tested alongside some of the arc flash gloves which you may now see on the market and it was proven that they offer fantastic protection from arc flash. In case you are curious, the standard for testing gloves for arc flash is ASTM F2675-13.
Just remember, the main reason you are wearing the rubber insulating gloves is to protect against shock hazards. Fortunately, your regular rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors offer an excellent protection from an arc flash hazard and should always be worn, when there is a risk of a shock or an arc flash event.

INSULATING GLOVES
Selection Of Correct Gloves
Insulating gloves should be selected according to their class which corresponds to the voltage level used – additionally the gloves are classified into categories according to environmental resistance properties detailed below.
- Class
- Voltage
- Product colour
- Size – between 7-12 for either male of female use
- Classifications and standards
When selecting the correct insulating gloves all of the above factors are vital to consider in order to achieve the adequate level of protection required.
In addition, some gloves will also require an under-glove for comfort or a leather over-glove to maintain product longevity.
Inspection and storage of insulating gloves is also a vital factor to consider as all gloves must be visibly inspected after each inflation and before each use.
This is to make sure there are no tears or abrasion to the gloves prior to use, maintaining their dielectric properties.
Insulating rubber gloves are also categorised by environmental resistance properties for protection against acid, oil, o-zone and very low temperatures.
- A – Acid
- H – Oil
- Z – O-Zone
- R – Acid, Oil and O-Zone
- C – Very Low Temperatures
INSULATING GLOVES – CLASS & CATEGORY
The following gloves manufactured by CATU Electrical and T&D would normally recommend for mechanical protection they be used with silicon leather glove covers or over-gloves but in light of the above this might all change.
| Insulating Gloves Class | CATU Electrical Code | Category | Thickness | Length | Colour | AC | kV | DC |
| Class 00 | CATU CG-05 | AZC | 0.5mm | 360mm | Beige | ≤ 500V | 0.5kV | 750V |
| Class 0 | CATU CG-10 | AZC | 1mm | 360mm | Beige | ≤ 1000V | 1kV | 1500V |
| Class 1 | CATU CG-1 | RC | 1.5mm | 360mm | Bi-Colour | ≤ 7500V | 7.5kV | 11,250V |
| Class 2 | CATU CG-2 | RC | 2.3mm | 360mm | Bi-Colour | ≤ 17000V | 17.5kV | 25,500V |
| Class 3 | CATU CG-3 | RC | 2.9mm | 360mm | Bi-Colour | ≤ 26500V | 26.5kV | 39,750V |
