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.

Answer / archana
2 avoid stagnation of water,to prevent growth of plants,
and the main reason of placing stones is 2 protect the
persons from hv while walking.there is a mathematical
calculation based upon human resistance with earth
resistance regarding how much amount of stones should me
placed in tha yard.

Answer / timer4u
To avoid water
stagnation and
prevent plants(trees)
from growing in the
sub station area,
where equipment are
placed.
This is what they told
us, when we visited a
substation recently......

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.

Answer / syam mohan
it will absorb the vibrations of the transformer,provide a
good conducting path to the earthing, prevent the growth of
plants, To avoid water stagnation

Answer / n.gopala krishna
transformers having oil for cooling purpose supose oil
spilleage is there the oil will sink and absorb to prevent
slippery and fire
