Earthing

In order to protect equipment and people, we design simple and complex earthing systems for plants and pipelines for power supply plus oil & gas installations

Balslevs comprehensive experience and competencies comprise the design, calculation and specification of different earthing systems within the infrastructure, power supply and the oil & gas sector.

We ensure optimum configuration of the earthing system in order to protect electrical equipment plus people in the best way possible.

Our engineers have carried out numerous projects for various types of earthing systems and installations such as.:

• Railways, where earthing is a part of the trains' propulsion power system and provides protection in case of faults in the conductive installations
• Power supply e.g. on high voltage and emergency power systems
• Oil and gas installations, where earthing reduces voltage on e.g. gas storages and pipelines caused by e.g. strikes of lightning.

Projects concerning earthing are performed according to the current national and international standards in this area like DS (Danish Standard), IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission), and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
