The demand on High voltage (HV) infrastructures is growing due to the corresponding growth in industries and population. Many areas are being developed and therefore require additional electrical power to comply with the demand. Substation upgrade is one of the rapid solutions to ensure the continuous supply of power to customers. This upgrade requires civil modifications to structures and fences. The civil work requires excavation and steel works that may create unsafe touch conditions. This paper presents a brief theoretical overview of the touch voltage inside and around substations and uses CDEGS software to simulate a case study.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] IEEE guide to safety in AC substation grounding, 2000- (IEEE, New\r\nYork, 2000).\r\n[2] Hellany A Nassereddine M, , Nagrial M.
