CHECK LIST FOR OHE BONDING AND EARTHING- 002 - REV-00
34) Check the bond is made as per the shape shown in RDSO drawing
35) Check that no bond is connected in signal ( Positive Rail) in track circuited area
36) TSS/SWS/FP
Check that all the traction rails shall be provided with rail bonds for a distance of 1000m
on both sides opposite to the FP and all the traction rails are cross bonded at a distance
of 300m, 500m, 750m & 1000m on both sides of the FP.
Check the earth electrodes provided at switching station shall be interconnected to
form a closed loop to form earthing ring. This ring, traction rail and the earth mat are
connected by means of two distinct connections of 50 mm x 6 mm MS flat
Check the designated terminal of the secondary of each potential, current and auxiliary
transformer , masts, structures, fencing uprights, and all outdoor equipment pedestals
including auxiliary transformer tank are connected to the earthing ring by means of two
separate and distinct connections and the metal casing of potential and current
transformers are connected to the mast/ structures by means of two separate and
distinct connections made with 50 mm x 6 mm MS flat
Check all fencing panels , metallic door panels and upright are connected to the
supporting uprights by two separate and distinct connections with 6 SWG G.I. wire.
Check the ground terminal of lightning arrester are connected directly to the earth
grid/ring by means of two separate and distinct connections made with 50 mm x 6 mm
MS flat earthing leads from the lightning arrester are brought to the earth grid/ring by
as short and straight path as possible
Check the metal casing of LT AC. and DC. distribution board, battery chargers, terminal
board, remote control equipment cabinets and other such equipment are connected to
the earthing ring by means of two separate and distinct connections made with 8 SWG
G.I. wire.
Check at TSS and SWS where power supply at 415 V/ 240 V, ac, 50 Hz, is taken from the
local supply authority and having neutral earth at some distant point in the premises of
the supply authority, the neutral of such supply are earthed by means of two separate
and distinct connections made with 6 SWG G.I. wire by connecting to an independent
earth electrode.
Check 52 kg/m rail with length of 13 m shall be buried near the track at the TSS at a
depth of one metre. Two separate and distinct connections shall be made the earthing
grid and the buried rail. The buried rail to be connected by means of two separate and
distinct connections made to the traction rail with 75 mm X 8 mm MS flat
Check when the FP is located separately away from the traction TSS, the buried rail
provided at the FP (where one terminal of the secondary winding of the traction power
transformer of the substation is grounded).One terminal of the secondary winding (25
kV winding) of each traction power transformer to be earthed directly by connecting it
to the earthing grid and to the buried rail by 75 mm x 8 mm MS flat.
Check the designated terminal of the secondary of each potential, current and auxiliary
transformer are connected to the earthing grid by means of two separate and distinct
earth connections and metallic frame work of all outdoor equipment such as
transformers, circuit breakers, interrupters and isolators, as well as steel structures are
connected to the earthing grid by means of two separate and distinct connections

The exposed surfaces of earthing connections (MS flats) above ground level shall be
given two coats of painting to colour grass green
The bond connections on OHE shall be painted with two coats of black bituminous
paint
