The core grounding and bonding rules live in Article 250, which covers everything from the electrodes buried in the earth to the conductors that connect your panel, equipment, and metal piping
Electrical systems that are grounded shall be connected to earth in a manner that will limit the voltage imposed by lightning, line surges, or unintentional contact with higher-voltage lines
If exceeded, single-phase-to-ground operation must be stopped immediately, and the faulted equipment disconnected. If the grounding condition persists beyond 2 hours, the situation must be reported to
Bonding Required: The neutral bus bar and the ground bus bar must be connected by the Main Bonding Jumper (MBJ). This is the single point where the system is connected to the earth ground.
The document then discusses the electrical main wiring designs for the substation, including selecting the main transformer capacity and type, designing the substation, and selecting a bus bar scheme.
Features < 6 ft. 4/0 AWG copper welding cable < Yellow cable insulation provides clear indication that bushing is for grounding purposes < Provided with hotstick eye 5 3/4" (145 mm)
Upper and lower pole grounds may be the same size and run straight through at the neutral (as shown) provided that it is sized adequately for the upper pole ground.
Non-segregated phase bus is an assembly of bus conductors with associated connections, joints and insulating supports confined within a metal enclosure without interphase barriers. The conductors are
Multiple segment busbars, such as double busbar and triple busbar arrangements, are used to balance loads between various transmission circuits, minimize the physical space required for a substation,
This Article covers general requirements for grounding and bonding of electrical installations, and specific requirements in Section 2395.1 (a) through (g) below.
