Foreword

In accordance with the requirements of “Notice on Issuance of Development and Revision Plans for 2013 Engineering Construction Standard Code” (No.6 [2013], Construction Standard) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, by China Electric Power Research Institute in conjunction with relevant organizations, on the basis of GB 50169-2006 “Code for construction and acceptance of grounding connection electric equipment installation engineering”, this Code is revised. In the revision process of this Code, the revision team has extensively investigated and studied, carefully summed up practical experiences, extensively asked for opinions and discussed and revised many times, and finally reviewed and finalized. This Code is divided into 5 chapters. The main contents include. general provisions, terms, basic requirements, grounding of electric equipment, and engineering succession and acceptance. Compared with the previous code, this Code adds the following. 1.Basic requirements; 2.Reducing resistance of grounding connection; 3.Grounding of wind turbines and photovoltaic power plant; 4.Grounding of relaying protection and security automatic equipment; 5.Grounding against lightning induction and static electricity. The provisions of this Code in bold type are mandatory and must be strictly enforced. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is responsible for the management of this Code and the interpretation of mandatory provisions. China Electricity Council is responsible for day-to-day management. China Electric Power Research Institute is responsible for the interpretation of specific technical content. In the implementation process of this Code, it is hoped that all organizations will combine engineering practice, earnestly sum up experience, pay attention to the accumulation of information. If it is found that it needs to be modified or supplemented, please send comments and suggestions to China Electric Power Research Institute (address. No.33 South Binhe Road, Xicheng District, Beijing; postal code. 100055) for future revision.

1 General provisions

1.0.1 To ensure the construction quality of grounding connection electric equipment installation engineering, promote the improvement of technical level of engineering construction, and to ensure the safe operation of grounding connection, this Code is developed. 1.0.2 This Code is applicable to the construction and acceptance of grounding connection electric equipment installation engineering, and not to the construction and acceptance of high voltage DC power transmission grounding electrode. 1.0.3 The construction and acceptance of grounding connection shall, in addition to complying with this Code, comply with the current relevant national standards.

2 Terms

2.0.1 Grounding electrode Metal conductors buried in the ground and in direct contact with the earth are called grounding electrodes. They are classified into horizontal grounding electrodes and vertical grounding electrodes. 2.0.2 Natural grounding electrode Various metal components, metal well pipes, foundations of reinforced concrete buildings, metal pipelines and equipment in direct contact with the earth which can be utilized for grounding. 2.0.3 Air-termination system The generic term of devices for accepting lightning stroke, including lightning rod, lightning belt, lightning conductor, lightning protection net, metal roofing, and metal components, etc.. 2.0.4 Grounding conductor A metal conductor which is used to connect the grounding terminal of electric equipment and air-termination system to the grounding electrode and does not carry current under normal conditions. 2.0.5 Grounding connection The sum of grounding electrode and grounding conductor. 2.0.6 Grounded USE grounding conductor to connect the electric equipment, facilities, overvoltage protective devices of power systems or structures to the grounding electrode. 2.0.7 Grounding impedance The impedance between a given point and a reference point of systems, devices, or equipment at a given frequency. 2.0.8 Ground resistance The resistive component of grounding impedance, which is power frequency ground resistance at the power frequency. 2.0.9 Neutral line The conductor which is electrically connected to a neutral point and can be used for power distribution.
