The international standard to determine grounding conductor size can be applied for a wide range of items because it includes the specific physical characteristics, but it has a problem where the numerical formula is complicated. However the JIS and domestic standard numerical formula are simple but have many constraints. The new grounding conductor size selecting method is necessary in order to solve such problems. Therefore, in this study, we suggested an improved method for selecting the grounding conductor size and simple numerical formula with a numerical formula control modeling. and we verified reliability of paper used case study.

This paper presents the transient impedance behaviors of grounding systems to lightning impulse current. The potential rise and effective impulse ground impedance of the test grounding electrodes were measured as a function of the rise time of impulse currents and lengths of down conductor. The transient ground impedances strongly depend on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes, the impulse current shapes and lengths of down conductor, and the inductance of reduce of grounding electrode inductance is an important factor to improve the transient ground impedance.

In order to analyze ground potential rise of grounding system installed in buildings, the hemispherical grounding simulation system has been designed and fabricated as substantial and economical measures. Ground potential rise(GPR) has been measured and analyzed for shapes of grounding electrode using the system in real time. The system is apparatus to have a free reduced scale for conductor size and laying depth of a full scale grounding system and is constructed so that a shape of equipotential surface is nearly identified a free reduced scale with a real scale when a current flows through grounding electrode. The system was composed of a hemispherical water tank, AC Power supply, a movable potentiometer, and test grounding electrodes. The test grounding electrodes were fabricated through reducing grounding electrode installed in real buildings such as rod type, mesh grid type. When a mesh grid type was associated with a rod type, GPR was the lowest value. The proposed results would be applicable to evaluate GPR in the grounding systems. and the analytical data can be used 0 stabilize the electrical installations and prevent the electrical disasters.

This paper presents the transient impedance behaviors according to the length of down conductors of grounding systems to lightning impulse currents. The potential rise and effective impulse ground impedance of the deeply-driven ground rod and grounding grid subjected to the impulse currents were measured and analyzed as a function of the rise time of impulse currents and lengths of down conductor. The transient ground impedances strongly depend on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes, the waveform of impulse currents and the length of down conductors, and the installation methods reducing the inductance of down conductors are an important factor to decrease the transient ground impedances.

In this paper, the electric potential of electrode surface is investigated by assuming them as two dimensional sets of point current sources. And, the simulated water tank is manufactured as a reduced scale of the earth. Henceforth, the adequate model electrode for test is decided to decrease experimental errors relevant to the limitation of the size of the water tank. The one of important things of this work, the deduction method of the potential interference factor is proposed, which used as the criterion of the potential interference according to the shape of conductors and the laying conditions, when multiple grounding conductors are situated at the same resistance grounding area. Also, the validity of this theory is verified from a numerical simulation of the grounding electrode to be used in experiments, and this study is realized by the verified theory and the simulated experiments.

접지도체의 굵기를 결정하는 국외 규격은 재료의 특성값인 물리적 정수까지 적용하여 광범위하게 적용할 수 있는 반면 수식이 복잡한 문제점이 있고 JIS와 국내규격은 수식은 간단하나 제약조건이 많은 문제점이 있다. 또한, 접지도체의 접속방법에 따라 최대허용온도가 다르게 적용되므로 접지도체 굵기 산정 방식이 복잡하고 적용 방법이 상이하여 시공현장에서 엔지니어들이 적용하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 새로운 접지도체 굵기 산정방식을 제시하고 접속방법에 따른 접지도체 굵기 산정 간이식을 제시한다.
