Characteristics of the ground system HE Peruca

Abstract

HPP Peruca is a dam-type power plant with a reservoir of multiple importance. In addition to the direct production of electricity, the power plant with a reservoir performs annual equalization of the waters of the Cetina River for their energy use in downstream hydroelectric power plants, as well as for the protection of the Sinjsko polje from floods, and for irrigation and water supply. In addition to the measurements themselves, the study includes an overview of the basic protective features of grounding systems, with reference to regulations: principles of measuring the spread resistance, and touch and step voltages: the procedure for determining the current relevant for determining the potential image of the grounding conductor and analysis of the measurement results.
