Touch Potential refers to the voltage difference a person might feel upon touching grounded equipment during a fault, while Step Potential is the voltage between their feet as they move across a surface energized by a fault. Effective earthing systems account for these by limiting the current exposure to safe levels, especially vital in high-voltage environments like substations. Another factor, the <b>Earth Potential Rise (EPR)<\/b>, is also crucial, as it can pose serious risks by elevating ground voltage near the fault.
