Our cell site grounding,telecommunications grounding and communication tower grounding methods closely follow the Motorola R56 standards and IEEE Std 142-1991 and IEEE Std 142-2007 recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems guidelines for cell site and telecommunications sites.
According to the IEEE Std 142-1991 and IEEE Std 142-2007 (The Green Book), the communication tower grounding electrode resistance of large electrical substations should be 1 Ohm resistance or less. For commercial and industrial substations including cell site and telecommunications sites the recommended resistance to ground is 5 Ohms or less.
Surface material becomes very important when designing a substation ground grid in high resistive soil. A layer of crushed rock or other material has become the design standard to provide a high resistance between the ground grid and personnel.
The knowledge of the grounding system resistance is essential for the calculation of these voltages in cases of faults. The grounding systems commonly used, consist of single rods, rodbeds or arrays of rods, grounding grids and combinations of the previous types. The grounding resistance of a system can be calculated by various methods.
The purpose of this inspection is to determine if the equipment, frame, structures, or enclosure grounds are connected to the grounding electrode or ground grid with low resistance.
