“Diseño de los sistemas de puesta a tierra para protección de equipos eléctricos instalados y de protección contra descargas atmosféricas para las instalaciones de la empresa Royal Master Group.”

Abstract

The main objective of this document is to specify the model of a grounding system and a lightning rod system for the company Royal Master Group, through the analysis of the characteristics of the project such as soil resistivity, characteristics of the transformer through which the company is supplied with electricity, evaluation of the risk level of atmospheric discharges due to the location of the project; designs framed within specific standards that will serve as a guide such as the IEEE std 80-2000 with the objective of obtaining admissible touch and step voltages, values necessary for the sizing of the mesh, the IEEE std 81-1983, a standard that allows us to have a criterion of recommended values for grounding resistance, based on the values obtained in the resistivity measurements of the study ground, and the IEC 62305-2011, for the design of lightning protection, through which we will establish the lightning protection levels or LPL (Lightning Protection Level) and its correlation with the protection levels to be implemented or LPS (Lightning Protection System), in addition we will apply the rolling sphere method, which is an electrogeometric model of a sphere that shows the points susceptible to receive a discharge and whose radius is obtained as a function of the protection level.
