BASIC EARTHING - Step and Touch Voltages

STEP AND TOUCH VOLTAGES
Step and touch voltages MUST be limited to safe levels by the use of SPECIALLY designed earth mats to be installed for personnel safety.

REDUCTION OF TOUCH & STEP POTENTIAL:
Voltages generated from a lightning strike or electrical equipment
could cause injury and/or death to humans and animals.
Installation of a close grid earth mat effectively reduces voltages to a safe level.

ARTIFICIAL INCREASE OF SURFACE RESISTANCE:
By increasing the surface resistivity of the soil outside a structure may reduce the life hazard.
Equipotential bonding of connected services at entrance will benefit
anyone inside the structure.
