What is the purpose of using stones/gravel in switchyard of substation

[@blackbear92201]

Good explanation. thanks for posting! :D

[@happychauhan396]

Size of gravels used in substation ?

[@Deploracle]

So the stones allow minimal contact patch between the shoe soles and the ground. 6 inches of essentially air is a decent insulator.

Thanks alot sir. Could you do video on working and operations of 3 winding transformer.

[@manojkumar-myi1qv]

This type of system is typically used in low voltage and medium voltage substations where the level of fault current is low. Solid earthing systems provide a low impedance path to the ground, which helps to minimize the risk of electric shock and equipment damage.

thanks for your valuable feedback.

I heard it was because snakes don't like wandering on gravel.

How can remove grass in switch yard?

[@theengineeringpower4213]

grass removal spray is used normally for removal of wild grass as it slows down the further growth of the wild grass.

[@braunflexington]

Main reason is to keep weeds and grass and mud from growing in the substation

Because stones are cheap and easy to lay.
