PART 24 PLANT EARTHING
1
For the earthing of electrical systems, equipment and structures, each installation
shall have one common earth conductor connected to at least two groups of earth
electrodes.
The earth resistance of the electrode shall be as low as is practicable but shall in
any event be such that the electrical resistance between the main earth grid and the
general mass of earth shall not exceed 4 ohm when any one group of electrodes is
disconnected.
The earth grid shall extend throughout the installation in the form of a main earth
ring with branch interconnections to the equipment and structures to be earthed.
The earth connections shall comprise earthing conductors made up of wires of
stranded copper with overall green/yellow PVC covering.
Earth electrodes shall be suitable material which guarantees low resistance and long
life. Copper electrodes shall not be used in areas with impressed current cathodic
protection.
The connections between electrode heads and conductors shall be so executed that
easy inspection and testing of the earth resistance of individual electrodes is
possible.
All bare parts of underground earthing conductors shall be suitably protected against
direct contact with the soil so as to prevent electrolyte corrosion of plant equipment.
All earthing terminations shall be made with compression-type cable lugs.
Interconnections shall be directly clamped with compression-type branch connectors
or 'cad-welded'.
The main earth conductor shall have a cross sectional area such that it can act as
the circuit protective conductor on all plant and equipment connected to it. At the
point of electricity supply it shall be solidly connected to the earth terminal conductor
or site earth terminal to achieve a TN-S system.
Electrical plant and equipment external to the Switchgear and Control Rooms shall
be connected to an extended main earth conductor. Cross bonding between
extraneous metalwork, and metal supporting structures for the plant and equipment
shall also be connected to this main earth terminal conductor.
The conductors from electrical plant and equipment to the main earth conductor
shall be treated as circuit protective conductors as described in BS 7671 (IEE
Regulations) as applicable.
The cross bonding conductors shall be as described in BS 7671 (IEE Regulations)
as applicable.
Subcircuit protective conductors (CPC's) and bonding conductors shall be
continuous throughout their lengths wherever possible. Cable armouring and cable
sheaths are not acceptable as the CPC where equipment is installed.

with compressed joints. Every joint shall have a warning plate securely attached
which shall state, in English and Arabic:
Safety Earth and Circuit Protective Conductor. Do Not Remove.
Joints shall be readily accessible for inspection.
Where cable troughs are used for installation of the CPC, the joints may be made
within the trough.
Where the cable installation and CPC are installed underground, CPC joints shall be
made in above ground link boxes.
10

an equipment enclosure shall be 6 mm2.
11
Metalwork within 2.5 m of any other metalwork, plant and equipment which can be
energised, or forms part of any other equipotential zone, shall be bonded to the
CPC/Earth System, and shall have a warning notice securely fixed accordingly.
12
On test, supplementary bonding conductors may be required to ensure integrity of

the equipotential zones, the installation of which shall be agreed with the Engineer.

Special regard shall be made, where earthing of instrumentation, transducers and

transmitters is concerned, so that all installations are earthed to the Manufacturer's
instructions.

required supplied for compact assembly to remove grit and silt with unlimited
moisture contents to be transported over 20m vertical and up to 40m horizontal
distance to the following requirements.
The system shall be designed for removal of sludge, solids, abrasive materials and

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The pump forms the basis of a highly efficient materials handling system. The pump
takes a high energy stream in this case compressed air derived from a compressor
and uses this to entrain the material to be vacuumed. The vacuum recovery system
combines the standard pump, operating on compressed air, with a vacuum
collection tank, designed to act as a separator which stores material for controlled
discharge into a hopper. In this mode, the pump develops a continues vacuum up to
26 mercury (66cm Hg) together with high induced air flow. The system is to be used
with a 600CFM compressor at 150PSI.
