Currents Distribution During a Fault in an MV Network: Methods and Measurements
2016
When a single line to ground fault happens on the MV side of a HV/MV system, only a small portion of the fault current is injected into the ground by the ground-grid of the faulty substation. In fact the fault current is distributed between grounding electrodes and MV cables sheaths. In systems with isolated neutral or with resonant earthing this may be sufficient to provide safety from electric shock. Experimental measurements were performed on a real MV distribution network: a real single line to ground fault was made and fault currents were measured in the faulty substation and in four neighboring substations. In this paper the problem of fault current distribution is introduced, the tes…
On the effects of HV/MV stations on global grounding systems
2016
The METERGLOB project has faced the issue of the identification of Global Grounding Systems. One of the main point of the problem is to define if an interconnection of single grounding systems gives place to a Global Grounding System in any condition and for every kind of ground fault. This paper focuses the attention on what happens in the case of single line to ground fault inside a HV/MV station whose ground electrode is connected to the cable' shields of the MV lines outgoing the station and supplying the secondary substations of a given area.
Current and Voltage Behaviour During a Fault in a HV/MV System: Methods and Measurements

Risk indexes for studying interconnected earthing systems inside MV networks
2006
The paper presents a risk-evaluation-based approach to the issue of interconnection between the earth electrodes of the MV/LV substations within MV networks. After a short introduction on the interconnection between earthing systems, the paper proposes four risk indexes defined starting from the safety requirements given by CENELEC HD 63 7 S1. The indexes allow one to put in evidence, in a clear way, the benefits of the interconnection in terms of reduction of risk of critical electric shock for persons and of stress on the insulation of the LV devices in the presence of single line to earth faults and double earth faults inside MV/LV substations and single line to earth faults inside HV/MV…
CEMS Study of 57Fe Implanted in Diamond
2002
Conversion electron Mossbauer (CEMS) measurements have been made on a diamond sample implanted with 70 keV 57Fe to a dose of 5 × 1014 cm−2. CEMS spectra were collected in the as-implanted state and after annealing the diamond up to 1470 K. The lower temperature spectra were consistently fitted with three symmetric doublets. With annealing the areal fractions of two of the doublets increased to 44% and 48 %, respectively, while that of the third doublet decreased to be replaced by a single line component with isomer shift δ = 0.0 mm/s. Comparison of the observed isomer shifts with recent in-beam Mossbauer measurements and theoretical calculations allow us to attribute the singlet to intersti…
