3. WE should must Understand Differnce Earthing
Between DC & AC Circuit
4. Let’s do some Explanation -1
In Solar PV power plants, common question alwaysrising in our mind that, "Whether is it
advisableto combine DC & AC Earthing ?
Some of expertise people in the industry go ahead,to preferring to do combining of both the
systems earthing, to arrive overallearthing grid resistance < = 5 Ohms / < = 1 Ohms. But
technicallyspeaking, this combining effect is not technicallyadvisable.Why ? and How ?
Let's move on detailing.As we well aware, In DC systems, the flow of current in the circuit is
based on the resistance ( R ) associated with that. Where as in AC systems, the flow of current in
the circuit is based on the Impedance ( Z ) associated with that. From this preliminaryconcept,
We understoodclearly that, One Ampere of DC system current is not Equalto the One Ampere
of AC system current
5. • Fromthe above concept, we understood wellthat, Combining DC & AC earthing is not technically advisable. DC system
working based on the Resistance(R) associated within, Whereas AC systemworking based on Impedance(Z) associated
within. Normally in AC systems,theShortcircuit level based on the Impedance. Presenceof higher Impedancewill
resulted in higher Shortcircuit in the system.
• The shortcircuit currentof DC systems of PV plantbased on the Pnom Ratio figure, which is detailed below :
• Fromthe above figure, it is clearly understood that,If DC loading increasing, thenshort circuitcurrentlevel of the
systemwill increase. Now a days, witnessing elevated technology on the inverter section, we havebeen getting single
inverter unit rating like 2MW, 3.125MW, 3.75MW, 4MW & 5MW, in currentPV market. By the way of adopting higher
rating inverter & carrying with 60% DC loading, DC shortcircuit level maximum it can go nearing to 5 KA ( 5000A, rarely
) not morethan that.
• Sizing the earth conductor ( MMS Body earthing to earth pit ) is based on the maximum shortcircuit currentcarrying
by the system+time to withstand the fault current. - This procedurenot only for DCearthing, this is common
procedureeven for AC earthing too.
• If designer carrying over generalprocedures to calculate proper sizing ofearthing conductor for DC system, then he
should have to check the Pnomratio of plant along with Isc of each module & number of SCB's / SMB's connected to
the each inverter.
• Where as for the AC systems, theshortcircuit level derived based on two options widely by the industry experts.
• Option- I : Shortcircuit apparent power based on IEC 60076 - PART- V.
6. Let’s do Explanation -2
• Option - II : Plant connectingpoolingsubstationshort circuit level.( The designer has to consider pooling
substationshort circuit level as the main data / figure, for his designingplant )
• By the way of usingthe above available options, we can calculate easilyrequired earth flat size connectingto
the AC equipment's (Transformer,LT / HT breaker, Isolator,CT, PT, Surge arrestor ) to theearthpits.
• Example, The Short circuit current level is 25KA / 1 sec ( System has to withstandoverall ),then required GI(
GalvanizedIron )earth flat size as per IS 3043 - 1987 & International standardsforearthing,is : 312.5 Sq.mm,
so 50 x 8 mm is enough to carry the 25kA / 1 sec. For DC System 5KA short circuit current, required earth flat
size is : 62.5 Sq.mm, So designer can proceed with detailingof25 x 6 mm as the earthingflat between MMS to
earth pits / SCB's to earthpit.
• Conductor means it conducts / carry the current from one source to other source.It will allowto pass the
current it's carrying. Peoplegenerally prefer to combining bothearthing systems, to arrive overall grid earth
resistance is less than and equal to One ohms. Carryingover this concept stronglywill not lead to failure free
operationas overall.Ifwe are willingto combiningofDC & AC earthingthrough earthingconductors,then the
chances for failure ofwhole system will be very high.The main reason behind is,AC systems have been carrying
higher impedance and higher short circuit current compare than DC systems,specificallyon Solar PV plants.In
the combined earthingphilosophy,AC system fault current maytravel to reach even in DC systems ( MMS,
SCB's ) and it will affect their operation life instantly.Sometime due to the combined effect, the higher fault
current at HV level ( 11KV / 22KV / 33KV ) will take path through lowresistance path /conductor and it will
reach to Inverter DC portion and affect the whole inverter with severe damage. So combiningbothearthing
system technicallyis not at all advisable one.
11. Ensure Protection of Your Equipment from Lightning
Transient Overvoltage
Definition:Very short voltage increases between two conductors or between one
conductor and the ground.
LIGHTNING OVERVOLTAGE
Transientovervoltagemay enter an electrical installationvia the electrical power
supply, telephone, TV or data lines, or even through the earthing which then
transmits it to the connected equipment.
Most typical causes of transient overvoltageare:
Switching operationsof machinery
Grid failure event
Indirect lightningstrikes
Consequencesrange from simple disruptions (interruptionof operations or
computer failures) to the total heavy damage to main components of an
installation.
Transient overvoltage represents a higher risk for more advanced technology. This
is due to the fact that components tend to be smaller and more sensible to
overvoltage.

Association (NFPA) Research Foundation.The objective of the project was to compare the long-term performance of
different types of earthing rods. According to the project, several different types of earthing rods were buried in
different types of soils.After 10 years in the year 2003, one of the original sites (Pawnee) was excavated and the rods
were removed.It was found that the copper bonded rod was virtually free of corrosion while the galvanised rod showed
significant deterioration.The UL listed copper bonded ground rods have served the industry exceptionally well,
providing a 40+ year life, typically 4 times that of galvanised ground rods.

provided to every structure, building, personnel and property resides in it. JMV is up with Early Streamer Emission air
terminal (ESEAT) all-in-one Lightning Protection solution that uses atmosphere gradient to store energy.
During thunderstorms, when downward leader begin to approach the ground, ESEAT restrain the downward leader
and generates standard value-magnitude and frequency pulses at the extreme tip of the air terminal.The lightning
arrester capture, divert and release thunder-bolts ranging from approx. hundredths to thousands of volts through a
potential route and effective grounding.
The Air Terminal is a non electronic device based on the principle of Early Streamer Emission
technology.We have electrostatic and electromagnetic charges present in the set electric field. The device or the
lightning arrester gets activated at the point of density difference in the electric field prevailing round the lightning
arrester. In other words, ESEAT acquires its energy when the density of charges lies in respective electrostatic and
electromagnetic fields, changes.
