: Details the specific interface requirements between Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) substations within buildings.

It provides a stable reference point for the electrical system, helping to manage voltage surges and lightning strikes. 2. Key Components of an Earthing System

Understanding the following terms is essential for applying SS 551 correctly:

Fulfills statutory requirements and ensures that insurance policies remain valid in the event of an electrical fire or accident. How to Get Started with SS 551

: It does not cover ships, aircraft, medical equipment, or functional earthing for electronic components sensitive to static. Major Components of the Standard

Are you designing for a or high-voltage (substation) system?

The standard dictates that the following extraneous conductive parts must be connected to the Main Earthing Terminal (MET): Main gas pipes. Main water services and risers. Central heating and air conditioning systems. Exposed structural steelwork of the building. Lightning protection earth terminations.
