Appendix A - 1 - 46

The document provides specifications for surge protective devices and grounding. It states that surge arresters should be installed to protect sensitive equipment from transients. TVSS protection is required at each electronic panel and well house. Grounding must comply with BS7671, with insulated grounding conductors in all raceways. Minimum grounding electrodes include concrete-encased, building steel if available, metallic water pipe if available, and ground rods with welded underground connections. Final ground resistance cannot exceed 25 ohms.

7.3.3 SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICES (SPD)


Transient Voltage Surge Suppression shall be provided utilizing surge arresters to protect sensitive and
critical equipment. Provide TVSS protection at each panel serving electronic loads and the well house (if
applicable). Show each TVSS in its respective panel schedule.
7.3.4 GROUNDING & BONDING
Grounding and bonding shall comply with the requirements of BS7671. All raceways shall include
insulated equipment grounding conductor (protective earth conductor), and grounding electrodes
(earthing) shall be installed at every building or structure. Grounding electrodes shall include, at a
minimum: Concrete encased electrode, bond to building steel (if available), bond to metallic water pipe (if
available), and ground rod(s). Underground connections shall be exothermally welded. All exposed non-
current carrying metallic parts of electrical equipment in the electrical system shall be grounded. Final
measurement of the ground resistance shall not exceed 25 ohms when measured more than 48 hours
after rainfall. Ground rods shall be copper clad steel, with minimum diameter of 17.2mm and minimum
length of 3000mm.
