Re-engineering design of grounding system (GS) is presented of a 300 KVA transformer from the Universidad Veracruzana, as a background measurements were made to transformer with an power quality analyzer, from the measured and analyzed data high values were detected of harmonics in the neutral, we deduce that the problem is in the GS, to verify the above, measurements were made with a grounding electrode tester, obtaining high resistance in the rods of GS, this value fail with respect to norm NOM -001-SEDE-2012, also, the contact and step potentials were simulated with the help of ETAP Software showing a dangerous potential difference for the human being, a methodology is proposed for the design and re-engineering of SG of the transformer through actual system analysis, calculations and simulations using ETAP software, obtaining values that comply with the normative and most importantly that provide security to people and equipment’s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
