Professional Engineer Receives Training on Power System Grounding

E. Matt Bedinghaus, P.E., completed four days of training on Integrated Grounding Systems at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, GA, March 28-31, 2011.

Bedinghaus utilizes WinIGS software by Advance Grounding Systems for design and analysis of electric power system grounding. The software also allows for modeling and graphic illustration of lightning protection and magnetic fields associated with power systems. The training program explored all the issues involved in designing ground grids for electrical substations and related it back to solutions built into the software.

In addition to utility clients, Bedinghaus has been assisting CommScope Bi-Metals with utility applications of copper clad steel (CCS) cables for grounding. CCS cables installed instead of copper will allow utilities to both reduce initial cost and to deter copper theft.
