Safe Earthing and Bonding in Rail
Empowering Rail Safety: Dive into Safe Earthing and Bonding with Practical Insights and Problem-Solving Strategies.
Safe Earthing and Bonding Training in Rail
A must-attend course that will benefit all those in the rail industry who have had limited exposure to earthing and bonding. Build your confidence and understanding of safety requirements, due diligence, system necessities, design parameters and operational realities.
About the Course
This safe earthing and bonding in rail training provides participants with a sound basis in science and practical examples for understanding and problem-solving with earthing systems in the rail environment.
It begins with the fundamentals of safe earthing in rail, including an introduction to the physics of earthing, circuit basics, conductive effects, proximity, mutual earth resistance and inductive coupling.
It will then cover soil resistivity fundamentals, field testing and model assessment and derivation before moving on to empirical and analytical voltage design methods and analysis issues for typical applications.
The safe earthing in railways course includes interactive practical sessions where we will ‘see’ how specific changes and errors affect outcomes, which is invaluable in turning information into understanding.
Over the course, participants will be invited to present real-life issues and examples they have wrestled with, which will then be analysed using the understanding and skills developed during the program.
Who Should Attend
The safe earthing and bonding rail training will benefit:
- Those requiring an introduction to or an understanding of earthing systems in a rail environment
- Non-technical people will attain a proper awareness of the issues, while electrical engineers and experienced technicians will further benefit from methods for first-pass planning and review
Key Learning Objectives
- Illuminate the mislabelled ‘Black Art’ of earthing
- Discover the science and craft required to make wise decisions regarding earthing system requirements
- Discuss matters relevant to safety and earthing systems in organisations
- Appreciate the complex problems of inductive and conductive interrelationships between substation and power line earthing systems and other conductive assets such as tracks, cabling and fencing
- Recognise a coordinated approach to the design and management of power earthing systems, lightning protection systems and other rail systems
- Understand inspection and testing as imperative tools in earthing system management
- Investigate techniques for solving problems found in earthing system design using both empirical and analytical computer-based techniques
