maintenance of an earthing system such that it operates under all conditions and ensures the safety of human life in any place to which persons have legitimate access It also provides the criteria to ensure that the integrity of equipment connected and in proximity to the earthing system is maintained D.C earth electrodes shall be located far enough away from the installation or other immersed metal structures so that electrolytic corrosion is negligible in comparison with other causes of corrosion, and to avoid transformer saturation NOTE IEC TS 62344 provides general guidelines on the design of earth electrode stations for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links As the electrolytic corrosion due to the d.c earth electrode depends on the ampere-hours of use, the distance of the d.c earth electrode from the installation could be reduced in case of temporary use of the electrode 0.2 F u n d am en tal re q u i re m e n t s S a fe t y c ri t e ri a The hazard to human beings is that a current will flow through the region of the heart which is sufficient to cause ventricular fibrillation The current limit, for d.c purposes is derived from the appropriate curve in IEC TS 60479-1 This body current limit is translated into voltage limits for comparison with the calculated step and touch voltages taking into account the following factors: – proportion of current flowing through the region of the heart; – body impedance along the current path; – resistance between the body contact points and e.g metal structure to hand including glove, feet to remote ground including shoes or gravel; – fault duration For installation design, the curve shown in Figure is calculated according to the method defined in Annex B NOTE The curve is based on data extracted from IEC TS 60479-1 : – body impedance from Table of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005 (not exceeded by 50 % of the population), – permissible body current corresponding to the c curve in Figure 22 and Table of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005 (probability of ventricular fibrillation is less than %), – heart current factor according to Table of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005 The curve in the following Figure 2, which gives the allowable touch voltage, should be used As a general rule, meeting the touch voltage requirements satisfies the step voltage requirements, because the tolerable step voltage limits are much higher than touch voltage limits due to the different current path through the body For installations where high-voltage equipment is not located in closed electrical operating areas, e.g in an industrial environment, a global earthing system should be used to prevent touch voltages exceeding the voltage limits given in IEC 60364-4-41 [ Copyright International Electrotechnical Commission ] Vo l t a g e , V – 30 – I E C TS

(normative) Method of calculating the voltage limit The following Formula (B.1 ) shall be used: UT = I (t ) × B f HF (B.1 ) × R (U ) × BF T T where is the touch voltage; is the fault duration; IB tf is the body current limit See c in Figure 22 and Table t of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005 , where probability of ventricular fibrillation is less than % IB depends on fault duration HF is the heart current factor See Table of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005, i.e ,0 for left hand, both feet; 0,8 for right hand to both feet; 0,4 for hand to hand R T (UT ) is the body resistance See Table and Figure of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005 R T is not exceeded by 50 % of the population Therefore, the first calculation has to start with an assumed level BF is the body fact See Figure of IEC TS 60479-1 :2005, i.e 0,75 for hand to both feet, 0,5 for both hands to both feet UT ( f ) NOTE Different touch voltage conditions, e.g left hand to feet, hand to hand, lead to different tolerable touch voltages Figure of this standard is based on a weighted average taken from four different touch voltage configurations Touch voltage left hand to feet (weighted ,0), touch voltage right hand to feet (weighted ,0), touch voltage both hand to feet (weighted ,0) and touch voltage hand to hand (weighted 0,7) For specific consideration of additional resistances the formula becomes: UT where RH RF = I (t ) × B f HF is the additional hand resistance; is the additional foot resistance Copyright International Electrotechnical Commission × ( R (U ) × BF + R + R T T H F ) (B.2) – 36 – I E C TS 61 936 -2 : © I EC 201 B i b l i o g p h
