   Earth potential rise (EPR) EPR occurs during an earth fault, the potential of the electrode and soil in the vicinity is raised close to nominal voltage until the protective device operates. EPR in proximity to the earth electrode is an important factor which should be considered when installing TT earthing systems.

   What happens if a ground potential rise occurs?

   • The voltages produced by a Ground Potential Rise or Earth Potential Rise event can be hazardous to both personnel and equipment. As described earlier, soil has resistance known as soil resistivity which will allow an electrical potential gradient or voltage drop to occur along the path of the fault current in the soil.

   What is Earth Potential Rise (EPR)?

   • Earth potential rise is a safety issue in the coordination of power and telecommunications services. An EPR event at a site such as an electrical distribution substation may expose personnel, users or structures to hazardous voltages. "Step voltage" is the voltage between the feet of a person standing near an energized grounded object.

   How do you calculate the potential of a ground grid?

   • The surface layer provides a high resistance between feet and the ground grid, and is an effective method to reduce the step and touch voltage hazard. In principle, the potential of the earth grid can be calculated using Ohm's law if the fault current and resistance of the grid are known. V_ext = I_ext imes Z_ext

    Dec 25, 2020 · The maximum potential difference between the site and remote earth is known as the ground potential rise (GPR). It is important to note that this is a maximum potential potential difference and that earth potentials around the site will vary relative to the point of fault. The maximum GPR is calculated by: =
