Equipotential security fence and grounding grate

1. A security system comprising:

a conductive fence;

a conductive mat mechanically and electrically coupled to the conductive fence, wherein the conductive fence and the conductive mat define an equipotential zone;

an enclosure surrounding the equipotential zone, the enclosure configured to prevent a human from contacting the conductive fence while the human is in contact with a ground surface;

a lockable door coupled to the conductive fence; and

a grounding access mat, wherein the grounding access mat is coupled to the conductive mat and to the enclosure at the lockable door.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure is non-conductive.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conductive mat has a conductive layer and a non-conductive layer.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conductive mat is a metal equipotential grounding grate.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conductive fence further comprises:

a plurality of fence posts electrically and mechanically coupled to the conductive mat; and

a plurality of fence panels electrically and mechanically coupled to plurality of the fence posts.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of clamps electrically and mechanically coupled the fence panels to the fence posts.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein a height of the plurality of fence posts is configured to prevent a person from climbing over the conductive fence.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of fence panels further comprise:

a plurality of vertical ribs; and

a plurality of horizontal ties, wherein the vertical ribs are mechanically and electrically coupled to the horizontal ties to prevent a person from climbing through the plurality of fence panels.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of vertical ribs are configured to prevent a person from climbing over the vertical ribs.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein a height of the plurality of vertical ribs is configured to prevent a person from climbing over the conductive fence.

11. The system of claim 8 , the plurality of vertical ribs having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are shaped to prevent a person from climbing over the conductive fence.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lockable door further comprises:

a door frame;

a plurality of horizontal ties mechanically and electrically coupled to the door frame;

a plurality of vertical ribs, wherein the plurality of vertical ribs and the plurality of horizontal ties are mechanically and electrically coupled to the door frame to prevent a person from climbing through the lockable door;

hinges mechanically and electrically coupled to a door frame first side and a door hinge fence post; and

a lock latch mechanically coupled to a door frame second side and a door lock fence post.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the security system is configured to enclose an electrical sub-station.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the electrical sub-station is portable.

15. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the grounding access mat is positioned at an entrance to the conductive fence.

16. An equipotential grounding system comprising:

a portable electrical substation disposed on a plurality of grounding grates and within a security fence, wherein the grounding grates are mechanically and electrically coupled to the security fence, wherein the security fence further comprises a lockable door; and

a grounding access mat positioned at an entrance to the security fence, the entrance comprising the lockable door, the entrance configured to prevent ungrounded personnel and equipment from entering the portable electric substation without touching the grounding access mat, wherein the grounding access mat is mechanically and electrically coupled to the plurality of grounding grates and to the security fence at the lockable door.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the security fence further comprises:

a plurality of fence posts mechanically and electrically coupled to the grounding grates; and

a plurality of fence panels electrically and mechanically coupled to the plurality of fence posts.
