6 FAQs about [Energy storage metal fence grounding]

Do metal fences need to be grounded?

Metallic fences enclosing, and other metal structures in or surrounding a substation with exposed electrical conductors and equipment shall be grounded and bonded to limit step, touch, and transfer voltages.

What is fence grounding?

Fence grounding is a method of transferring any electricity that might be in a metal fence to a safe grounding system. This means that the fence is not live, and it is not a danger to members of the public or passers by. How Is Fence Grounding or Fence Earthing Done?

How do I design a fence grounding system?

There are two methods used in designing the fence grounding system, especially at an electrical facility: 1. Electrically connect the fence grounding system to the facility ground system (Fig. 6-46). This method must be used when the fence is within or close to the facility ground grid.

When should a fence be grounded?

A fence should be grounded when it is within 16 ft. of exposed electrical conductors or equipment. Additionally, if the closest overhead power line is 20 ft. from the perimeter fencing, grounding is recommended.

Can a fence contractor ground a substation?

So, in most cases, fence contractors who are installing fences around a substation or similar site will not do the grounding. Instead, they will usually provide a fence system that has pre welded tabs or lugs on the base of each post, so that the contractor who does do the grounding or earthing has somewhere to attach their grounding cables.

What is a metal fence enclosing a substation?

Ground and bond the metal fences enclosing a substation and other metal structures in or surrounding it if the substation has exposed electrical conductors and equipment. This practice limits step, touch, and transfer voltages.
