What is Touch and Step Voltage Measurement?
Touch and step voltage refers to the potential differences that a person may experience when touching a metal object or walking on the ground surrounded by an electrical system. These voltages can pose risks of electrocution or serious injury if they exceed safe limits.
This service allows these stresses to be quantified in order to design, correct, or validate grounding systems and ensure safety in:
Electrical substations
Industrial plants
Maintenance areas
Spaces with medium and high voltage infrastructure
¿Qué Medimos y Por Qué Es Importante?
Touch Voltage:
Potential difference between an accessible structure and the ground where an operator places their feet.
Step voltage:
Potential difference between two points on the ground separated by the length of a step (≈1 m).
Grounding resistance (Rt):
