Ground resistance measurement is an elementary technique for the evaluation of grounding system. There are main environmental factors to consider for correct measurement but the problem is that it is practically most cases to measure ground resistance unable to know the factors. This paper presents a methodology toward true value of resistance in the unknown circumstances, utilizing the defined term 'variation rate' of potential difference curve appearing in the distance to a current probe as in the three point fall-of-potential method which comprises the characteristics of environmental factors. This methodology is a induced result from the previous demostrated studies.

This paper presents the dependances of transient grounding impedances of counterpoises on the soil structures and the injected point of impulse currents. The transient and conventional grounding impedances of the 25 and 50[m] counterpoises buried in the soil with different resistivity were measured and analyzed as a function of the rise time of impulse currents. As a result, the transient grounding impedances give an inductive behavior, and the trend of the conventional grounding impedances is similar to that of the transient grounding impedances. The ground resistance of counterpoises is irrespective to the injected of impulse current, but the transient and conventional grounding impedances in a short time range especially depend on the soil resistivity and position of the injected point of impulse currents.

The electrical characteristics of concrete block including a reinforcing rod in the foundation of the housing was fundamentally reviewed. It was tried to apply the substitutional earthing electrode in the foundation of the building. In order to identify the difference in the earthing resistance between mortar block and concrete block model, those models including a reinforcing rod in their inside were prepared and investigated for the earthing resistance. In results, the earthing resistance was largely affected by the block's resistivity compared to the change of resistance in reinforcing rods and the ground resistivity.

접지는 최근까지 대형 변전소를 제외한 대부분의 분야에서 정확한 현장 분석 없이 단순히 접지저항만을 계산하여 시공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 접지 설계에 필수적인 시공 현장의 대지저항률을 실측하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 지질특성을 분석한 후, 3가지 방식의 접지시스템을 현장에 맞게 설계 시공하였다. 각각의 접지 시스템의 시공은 동일한 장소에서 이루어 졌으며, 시공된 각각의 접지시스템들의 결과를 실측하여 접지 설계에 따른 시공 성능을 확인하였으며, 접지시스템들의 성능과 특성을 상호 비교 분석함으로써 현장에 가장 적합한 접지시스템을 제안하였다.

Usually, equations that calculate ground resistance of earth electrode was already informed well by form of earth electrode. But, when apply on the spot because general expressions are very insufficient at point that calculate exact ground resistance value by variation of earth electrode, and constant value that corrective coefficient for ground resistance calculation is fixed regardless of change of the earth resistivity specially is presented, it is actuality that difficulty is. Therefore, in this study, about these problem, proposed corrective coefficient for calculation of ground resistance according to change of the earth resistivity.

This paper intends to compare the investigation of techniques, based on different methods, used to find the electrical grounding parameter of a multi-layered earth(resistivity and thickness) corresponding to model, A technique for estimating earth parameters is presented and shown to be effective based on two case studies. This techni벼e can be applied to an earth structure with an arbitrary number of layer, and since it is not performed manually, can significantly reduce the amount of error involved.

This paper presents measurement results of transient impedance for small-sized ground electrodes in a discharge region of soil. For a realistic analysis of ionization characteristics near the ground electrode, three types of ground rod installed outdoors and high voltage impulse generator were used for injecting test current. From the analysis of response voltage and current flowing ground electrode to earth, it is verified that the ionization near the ground electrode contributes to reduction of ground impedance and limits the ground potential rise effectively in high resistivity soil. As a threshold electric field density for ionization is small in low resistivity soil, the shape of ground electrode rarely contributes to the transient impedance. And, from the experiment result with shape of ground electrode, the rod with needles is more effective to reduce the transient impedance than the plate electrode in the voltage range including with ionization regions of soil.

The electric safety tends to be more important according to electric facilities's increase and its use in these days. This paper analyzes soil resistivity of two areas in the country using CDEGS(Current Distribution, Electromagnetic Interference, Grounding and Soil Structure, Canada). We designed rod and mesh grounding system and made a comparative study of ground resistance, GPR(Main Electrode Potential Rin), step voltage and touch voltage. Then we could analyz only the safety but also economical efficiency in elocution of grounding. As a result of simulation, ground resistance, GPR(Main Electrode Potential Rise), step voltage and touch voltage became higher in proportion to soil resistivity. Therefore we expect to estimate the propriety of grounding system design through accumulation and analysis of data in consideration of characteristics of soil.

A design criterion of grounding systems is commonly based on low frequency resistance in Korea. When lightning surges which have high frequency components are injected into the grounding system, the grounding impedance is greatly different from the static grounding resistance. This paper presents the grounding adimittance and phase on the frequency range from 100 [Hz] to 15 [MHz] using water tank simulating the grounding system in different water resistivities. As a result, capacitive effect is dominant over the frequency of 100 [kHz] at the water resistivity of 1,000 [$\Omega$ m]. On the other hand, the inductive characteristics appear at the low water resistivity. Consequently, dependence of grounding impedances on the frequency of injected current is strongly related to resistivity.

This paper presents the method of sail-resistivity estimation using the backpropagation(BP) neural network. Existing estimation programs are expensive, and their estimation methods need complex techniques and take much time. Also, those programs have not become well spreaded in Korea yet. Soil resistivity estimation method using BP algorithm has studied for the reason mentioned above. This paper suggests the method which differs from expensive program or graphic technology requiring many input stages, complicated calculation and professional knowledge. The equivalent earth resistivity can be presented immediately after inputting apparent resistivity through the personal computer with a simplified Program without many Processing stages. This program has the advantages of reasonable accuracy, rapid processing time and confident of anti users.
