⚡ High Voltage Operation Responsibility & Grounding Measurement: Common Mistakes and Best Practices

High voltage facilities are critical for occupational safety, energy continuity, and regulatory compliance. Their operation must be supervised by a High Voltage Operation Responsible Engineer, authorized by the Chamber of Electrical Engineers (EMO).

At the same time, grounding measurement is indispensable for both protecting human life and extending equipment lifespan. However, common field mistakes often create serious safety risks and legal consequences for businesses.

⚠️ Most Common Mistakes

🚫 Unqualified Service Providers
Hiring individuals who are not certified by EMO → Non-compliance, legal liability, and potential accidents

⏳ Skipping Periodic Measurements
Not performing annual grounding tests → Corrosion, loose connections, increased fault current risks

📉 Improper Measurement Methods
Using quick testers instead of the correct fall-of-potential method → Inaccurate resistance values, compromised safety

⚙️ Non-Standard Equipment
Using devices not compliant with IEC or TS EN 61557 → Invalid measurement results

📑 Incomplete or Invalid Reporting
Reports that don’t meet IEC/TS EN standards → Issues during inspections, re-testing costs

✅ Best Practices

👨‍🔧 Work with Certified Experts
Always choose EMO-certified and authorized professionals

📅 Establish a Regular Test Schedule
Perform grounding and maintenance tests at least once a year

🔧 Use Standard-Compliant Equipment
Ensure devices comply with IEC and TS EN 61557 standards, with up-to-date calibration

📊 Provide Detailed Reporting
Include methods, equipment details, and recommendations in every report

🛡️ Adopt an Integrated Safety Approach
Combine grounding tests, leakage current tests, panel inspections, and emergency plans
