Earth bars shall be provided within switch rooms for bonding equipment. External equipment
shall be bonded directly to the relevant switch room earth bar or to the topsides structure via
dedicated earth conductor. Additionally external equipment will be connected to the module
steel work.
A buried earthing grid shall be installed which shall take the form of stranded copper cable,
forming a ring network around the plant with all splices, tees and cross connections made by
cadweld type joints. The above earth ring shall be connected to the main pile steelwork as
indicated on the approved drawings using compression type joints.
Power and instrument earth bars shall be installed in the Switch rooms. All earth connections
for equipment within the MCC module shall be made to the appropriate earth bar.
The power transformer secondary star point shall be connected to the MCC neutral bar.
Connections from earthing grid to local metalwork, process and electrical equipment shall be
carried out using yellow/green stranded copper cable.
Precautions shall be taken to prevent corrosion between any dissimilar metal joints due to
electrolytic action in the presence of moisture.
All non-current carrying metal parts of electrical equipment shall be effectively bonded to the
earth network.
Cable racking and cable trays shall have earth continuity throughout their lengths by using
bonding straps and shall be bonded to the structural steelwork at the intervals of 25 meter.
Pipeworks, vessels and tanks shall be bonded utilising the earthing bosses.
All pipework, HVAC ductwork and metallic insulation cladding shall be bonded to local
steelwork when entering a hazardous area or when entering or leaving a module enclosure,
unless connected to earth elsewhere. In addition, earth continuity shall be maintained
electrically and mechanically throughout.
