Step Voltage

    0.01 sec.
Step Voltage 

a voltage that is caused by a current flowing in the ground or in a conducting floor and is equal to the potential difference between two points on the surface of the earth or of the floor that are separated by a distance of one pace. The magnitude of a step voltage depends on the current and on the resistivity of the ground or the floor.

Hazardous step voltages may be produced near the grounding conductors of electrical installations when a ground fault occurs. Therefore, permissible values of the resistance of grounding conductors and the resistivity of the ground are set by standards.
