Abstract :
This paper describes a new technology, the active earthing system, based on a multi-frequency power converter, which combines a new power electronic device with a protection and control system. This system allows network enhanced operation and maintenance, overcoming some of the limitations of the traditional earthing systems, giving rise to relevant improvement in supply continuity.
