In facilities, having all grounding systems and metal parts at equipotential is just as important as the value of the grounding <\/a><\/strong>resistance. The concept of equipotential is extremely important to prevent fault currents from damaging points with low resistance, and to prevent system aging and corrosion risk resulting from current transitions. Unfortunately, there are some beliefs in our country that we can call superstitions. For example, installing lightning protection grounding a few meters away, or carrying out groundings<\/strong> separately. To give an example from the subject of lightning, a lightning strike affects an area of 2 km; performing external grounding at a point 10 or 20 meters away and not bringing it to equipotential increases the risk even more instead of preventing damage to the systems. Therefore, it is important that all groundings, metal parts, energy, and data lines in the system are at equipotential. The contrary situation is not technically correct. Equipotential must be ensured in every area we can call a facility, including Solar Power Plants<\/strong>, Wind Power Plants, Mass Housing, and Gas Stations. If we deepen the subject on a sectoral basis with very short examples:<\/p>\n
