Abstract :
In many cases, the manholes for maintaining various installations including power and telecommunication cables, water-, remote heating-, and gas-pipes are located in a close vicinity of power substations. The paper analyzes the risks of the occurrence of dangerous potential differences within the manhole and on the surrounding ground surface during ground faults in the substation. Possible protective measures are discussed.
