why we use stones or rock pieces in transformer area?..

Answer / svss

Crushed stone is a highly resistive material and this is
used in substations to protect the operating personal from
touch potential and step potential which may be very
dangerous in case of an electrical fault in the substation.
And the other reasons are it will not allow water
stagnation on top layer, and is not slippery.

why we use stones or rock pieces in transformer area?..

Answer / pratik

The main reason is that of stepping potential. In the transformer area stepping potential should not be more than a certain value. We know the fact clearly that we cannot walk fast over stones, our steps do become slow, and with this our stepping potential becomes less which is required for our safety.
