    Earthing and Bonding For 2 X25 KV

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses contact wire and earthing/bonding recommendations for overhead electrification (OHE) systems. It recommends using 107 sq mm silver-bearing copper contact wire, which can increase current capacity to 696 amps. It also recommends carrying out simulation studies to validate OHE design per relevant standards. For earthing and bonding, it recommends providing an aerial earth conductor (AEC) and buried earth conductor (BEC), with specifications for layout and connections to OHE masts and rails. The adequacy of the earthing/bonding system should be verified through simulation/measurement to comply with safety standards.

    1.2.

    14 Contact Wire :

    For these two routes contact wire replacement work wherever due should be
    done with 107 sq. mm silver bearing grooved copper contact wire as per
    specification no. TI/SPC/OHE/CW(Cu-Ag)/0130 if vendor developed.
    The current carrying capacity of OHE with Cu-Ag contact wire (107mm2) and
    Cu-Cd catenary wire (65 mm2) for 80oC maximum allowable temperature
    with wind velocity 0.6m/s will increase to 696 amp from 600amp current
    carrying capacity of OHE with Cu contact wire (107mm2) and Cu-Cd catenary
    wire (65 mm2) for 70oC maximum allowable temperature with wind velocity
    0.6m/s.
    1.2.15 Simulation study/Field trial for OHE and pantograph dynamic
    interaction should be carried out by Railways to validate OHE design as per
    EN 50367/EN 50318.
    1.3 Earthing & Bonding:

    AEC (Arial Earth Conductor) & BEC (Buried Earth Conductor) shall be
    provided to contain the touch & step potential of the track. AEC of 12.24 mm
    dia. ACSR Raccoon conductor should be erected on the back side of the OHE
    masts/Portals. Similarly BEC of 20 mm dia.(cross section 238.64 mm2),
    galvanized steel conductor should be laid underground along the UP and DN
    track separately, 300mm below ground surface and approximately one
    meter away (or as per site conditions) from the OHE foundation towards
    opposite direction of track. The BEC will be connected to each OHE
    mast/Portal and Feeder mast by same conductor having Tee Connector &
    Lug Connector as per Drawing No. TI/DRG/OHE/TC/RDSO/00001/20/0 &
    TI/DRG/OHE/SC /RDSO/00001/20/0 attached as Annexure 42 & 43 for BEC
    end and Lug for connection with mast/portal .The cross bonding of the UP
    BEC UP Mast/Portal-UP Traction Rail-DN Traction Rail-DN mast/Portal DN
    BEC should be done by 50X6 mm MS/GS flat at every 450 mtr. The details
    of the AEC/BEC and cross bonding scheme are given in drawing no
    TI/DRG/OHE/EARTHING/RDSO/00001/20/0 (Annexure 44).
    At stations, BEC conductor should be laid underground for Loop lines &
    platform also. BEC can be run on the side wall of Platform (platform coping)
    with suitable clamp & bolt grouted in the coping. BEC should be connected to
    Earth Pit as per Drawing No. ETI/OHE/P/7020 Rev. B at every 450m
    wherever it is exposed above the ground. At Bridges/Platform coping laying
    arrangement of BEC should be as given in Annexure-45.
    For Three line and four line section separate BEC should be provided for
    each line.
    The above recommendation are as per prevalent practice used in 2X25 KV
    system with 12 KA fault current adopted by other projects in country.
    However the adequacy and efficacy of this earthing and bonding system
    should be verified by the simulation studies/measurements of the touch and

    step potential of the rail in normal load and short circuit condition for
    compliance with EN 50122-1 and IEC 62128-1 (2013).
