This paper presents electric potential rise on the surface of the earth due to ground currents. It is the aim of this paper to propose fundamental data relevant to the earth surface potentials depending on the soil structures. The earth potential rise, touch and step voltages in the immediate vicinity of the ground rod of a distribution pole were measured and analyzed. The results described in this paper are based on laboratory measurements which were intended to simulate conditions existing in actual installations. As a result, the earth surface potential rise, touch and step voltages strongly depend on the soil structure. The highest earth surface potential occurred in the vicinity of the top of ground rod. When the ground rod was installed in the distance range of $1{\sim}1.5\;m$ from distribution pole, the highest touch voltages appeared near the place of 1 m on the straight line connecting the distribution pole to ground rod.

본 논문은 대지구조와 접지봉의 매설깊이에 따른 대지표면의 전위상승에 대해서 기술하였다. 대지표면의 전위상승에 따른 인체의 감전사고의 저감에 관한 기초적 자료를 제안하기 위해서 접지봉 부근에서의 대지표면전위를 계산하고 측정하였다. 접지봉 부근의 대지표면전위상승은 대지구조에 크게 의존하며, 매설깊이가 깊어질수록 낮아졌다. 대지표면전위상승은 접지봉의 직상부에서 최대이었으며, 측정결과는 접지해석프로그램으로 계산한 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

This paper describes ground surface potential rises and touch voltage. The more soil resistivity of upper layer is lower, the more ground surface potential rise is increased. Ground surface potential rise is increased as the buried depth of ground rod in lowered. Ground surface potential rises were measured in the test site and compared with results by CDEGS program. Touch voltages according to the separation distance of ground rod were measured in four directions. Touch voltages were remarkably changed by separation distance and contact position.

접지저항의 측정은 접지계통의 접지성능이 적정한가를 평가하기 위한 가장 기본적이고 중요한 작업이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 실제 현장에서, 특히 접지극의 크기가 큰 경우일수록 접지저항을 정확히 측정하기란 쉽지 않은데, 이는 정확한 접지전위 측정을 위한 기준전위 점을 찾기가 힘들기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 접지극 주변에서 측정한 지표면전위를 분석하여 기준전위 점의 위치를 정확히 식별하는 방법과 그 정당성을 제시하였다.

Lightning and switching surges propagating through the grounding conductors lead to transient overvoltages, and electronic circuits in information technology systems are very susceptible to damage or malfunction from the electrical surges. Surge damages or malfunctions of electrical and electronic equipment may be caused by potential rises. To solve these problems, it is very important to evaluate the ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages such as touch and step voltages at or near the grounding systems energized by electrical surges. In this paper, the performance of grounding systems against the surge current containing high frequency components on the basis of the actual-sized tests is presented. The ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages depending on impulse currents for vertical or horizontal grounding electrodes are measured and analyzed. Also the touch and step voltages caused by the impulse currents are investigated. As a result, the ground surface potential rises, the touch and step voltages near the grounding electrodes are raised and the conventional grounding impedances are increased as the front time of the injected impulse currents is getting faster.

This paper deal with an analysis of the ground surface potential profiles using a hemispherical scaled-model. Because it is very difficult to draw valid conclusions concerning a general grounding problem from actual field data, scale model tests can be used to determine the ground surface potential profile around the grounding electrodes according to the configuration of grounding electrodes. In this work, a hemispherical vessel with a diameter of 1,100 [mm] was employed to simulate uniform soil and CDEGS program was employed to compare the measured and simulated results. As a result, the ground surface potential around the grounding electrode was significantly raised and the ground surface potential at the just upper point of ground electrode particularly was higher than other points. The ground surface potential of counterpoise was higher than other grounding electrodes such as mesh and grounding rods and the ground surface potential strongly depends on the frequency responses of grounding electrodes. Also the results measured with the small-sized model were in reasonably agreement with the data obtained from simulation.

The most important object of grounding systems is to protect human being from electric shock. Touch and step voltages are measured to evaluate the performances of grounding systems. Dangerous voltages have been largely studied by the power frequency fault currents, on the other hand, the ground current containing the high frequency components and surge currents haven't been considered. Many attempts about the grounding impedances reported in these days show that the performance of the grounding systems in high frequency range is very different with the ground resistance. It is necessary to analyze the dangerous voltages formed by the ground currents containing high frequency components. In this paper, the ground surface potential rises near the vertical and horizontal grounding electrodes are measured at the frequency of 100[Hz], 30[kHz], and 100[kHz]. Dangerous voltages are investigated with the frequency-dependent grounding impedance. As a result, the ground surface potential rise is increased as the grounding impedance increases. Touch and step voltages near the grounding electrode whose impedance increases with the frequency are sharply raised.

This paper presents an accurate method for measuring the ground resistance in powered grounding system. Most of substations and electric power equipments are interconnected to an extensive grounding network of overhead ground wires, neutral conductors of transmission lines, cable shields, and etc. The parasitic effects due to circulating ground currents and ground potential rise make a significant error in measuring the ground resistance. The test current transition method was proposed to reduce the effects of stray ground currents, ground potential rise and harmonic components in measurements of the ground resistance for powered grounding systems. The instrumental error of the test current transition method is decreased as the ratio of the test current signal to noise(S/N) increases. It was found from the test results that the proposed measuring method of the ground resistance is more accurate than the conventional fall-of-potential method or low-pass filter method, and the measuring error was less than 3[%]when S/N is 10.

This paper presents the surface potential rise distribution near grounding electrodes produced by ground fault currents. The small-scale model with the foundation pedestal in hemispherical tank was used to simulate the ground fault condition of the electrical installations for street lamps. When entering the fault current through the test ground electrode, surface potential rise, potential gradient, touch and step voltages for different grounding electrode shapes were measured, and the results obtained were discussed.
