How to Ground a Barbed Wire on Top of a Fence According to IEEE Standa
How to Ground a Barbed Wire on Top of a Fence According to IEEE Standa
(OP)
I am trying to properly ground a fence in a substation according with the IEEE standards.
The fence is a 6 ft. high all-conductive fabric with over 20 years old. The fence includes 1 ft. high of barbed wire strands. Does the barbed wire have to be bounded directly to the ground wire that runs to the ground grid? Or, is the fence fabric good enough to work as a conductor according to IEEE standards? (Any IEEE standard, but I am emphasizing in std 80-1986)

You might check with someone like Burndy to see if certain of their YG-series hydraulic-compression connectors have IEEE-837 qualification for bonding bare-copper cable to galvanized fence wire.

One reason that substation fences are grounded is to increase safety in case an overhead line falls on the fence. For this reason, it is most important to ground the barbed wire because this will be the first point of contact with a fallen wire.
