This design guide should be used by the Entergy Substation Engineers in the design of substation buried ground grids based on safe limits of touch and step potentials, and to prevent damage to equipment & apparatus, including associated equipment such as communication . . Proper electrical grounding is essential for Cell Sites, BTS Cellular Base Stations, telecommunications or wireless network equipment deployement. Our cell site grounding,telecommunications grounding and communication tower grounding methods closely follow the Motorola R56 standards and IEEE Std. . IPMENT, STRUCTURES, ETC. IN ELECTRICAL STATIONS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTAT GR THAN 8 FT FROM THE FENCE. THE FENCE SHALL BE GROUNDED SEPARATELY FROM THE GRID UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE A PROPRIATE PROJECT DRAWING. FOR FENC G O OUTSIDE CLEARANCE SPACING. SEE APPLICATION. . Proper grounding and bonding for telecommunications infrastructure is essential to network reliability and public safety. Connecting the communications system and permanently joining all that metal conducting portions of the communications pathway to earth in such a manner as to prevent potential electrical loops and transients that can cause damage to telecommunications equipment, networks and personnel. Transient voltage introduced into a system often exceeds the. . The purpose of this design guide is to outline a standard method of designing substation ground grids for Entergy transmission and distribution substations.
