Abstract
This study includes measurements and analysis of the characteristics of the grounding system in the area of the dam, sluice chamber, pressure pipeline, engine room and switchgear. The following measurements were carried out: Measurement of the resistance of the earthing conductor: Measurement of the potential of the ground points in the appropriate directions as well as measurement of the potential of metal masses: Measurement of the contact voltage in the area of the power plant, administration building, dam and sluice chamber: In addition to the measurements themselves, the study includes an overview of the basic protective characteristics of the grounding systems, with reference to the regulations: principles of measuring the resistance of the spread and step voltages: the procedure for determining the current relevant for determining the potential image of the earthing conductor and analysis of the measurement results.
