So I guess it's the common concensus that Estep can only be higher in areas where Etouch is not applicable (i.e. no grounded metallic structure above grade ? ! ?

I guess there are a few issues we can all agree on:
1) Tolerable Step Potential is always higher than tolerable Touch potential (actually the Canadian Electical code has it pegged around 3 times higher for Crushed rock cover).
2) Touch Potential is the Difference between the GPR (or the "Grid...
I have recently been advised by the Electrical Approval Authority, that the Step Potentials within the Electrical Substation could exceed the Touch Potentials.
The gentleman quoted a journal paper by Dr Dawalibi that is also referenced from the IEEE 80 standard.
Has any body heard of it and/or...
