This paper presents characteristics of frequency-dependent grounding impedance and transient grounding impedance for the carbon compound grounding electrode used in the installation of computerized electronic equipment and lightning protection system. The frequency-dependent grounding impedances were measured by applying sinusoidal currents in the frequency range from 100 [Hz] to 10[MHz], and the transient grounding impedances were examined by subjecting the impulse current with the front-time between 1~80[${\mu}s$]. As a result, the ground resistance of the carbon compound grounding electrode is less than that of another type grounding electrodes. The transient grounding impedance is relatively low and the conventional grounding impedance is rather lower than the ground resistance. The frequency-dependent grounding impedance of the carbon compound grounding electrode is capacitive and the grounding impedance is decreased with increasing the frequency of injected currents. Therefore in the case that the carbon compound grounding electrode is jointly used with large-scaled grounding electrodes, it is possible to reduce the high frequency grounding impedance of the integrated grounding electrode system.

Grounding system insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a low impedance path for fault currents or transient currents in the earth. The ground impedance as function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. In this paper, the grounding resistance, grounding impedance and transient grounding impedance are measured by using 3-point fall-of-potential method in order to analyse grounding characteristics of the copper and concrete rod grounding electrodes. An equivalent transfer function model of the ground impedance and transient grounding impedance are identified from the measured values by using ARMA method and evaluated by comparing the conventional grounding impedance.

A grounding electrode has the transient grounding impedance characteristics against lightning surges. So the performance of grounding electrodes should be evaluated as a grounding impedance as well as the ground resistance. The frequency-dependent grounding impedance is varied with the shape and size of grounding electrode and is divided into both inductive and capacitive behaviors. This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the grounding impedance determined by the size of grounding electrode using the distributed parameter circuit model. EMTP and Matlab programs were used in calculating the frequency-dependent grounding impedances of vertical grounding electrodes. It was found that the frequency-dependent grounding characteristics of vertical grounding electrodes are characterized by the distributed parameters which are changed in the dimension of grounding electrodes.

When surges and electromagnetic pulses from lightning or power conversion devices are considered, it is desirable to evaluate grounding system performance as grounding impedance. In the case of large-sized grounding electrodes or long counterpoises, the grounding impedance is increased with increasing the frequency of injected current. The grounding impedance is increased by the inductance of grounding electrodes. This paper presents the measured results of frequency-dependent grounding impedance and impedance phase as a function of the length of counterpoises. In order to analyze the frequency-dependent grounding impedance of the counterpoises, the frequency-dependent current dissipation rates were measured and simulated by the distributed parameter circuit model reflecting the frequency-dependent relative resistivity and permittivity of soil. As a result, the ground current dissipation rate is proportional to the soil resistivity near the counterpoises in a low frequency. On the other hand, the ground current dissipation near the injection point is increased as the frequency of injected current increases. Since the high frequency ground current cannot reach the far end of long counterpoise, the grounding impedance of long counterpoise approaches that of the short one in the high frequency. The results obtained from this work could be applied in design of grounding systems.

접지시스템은 전기설비의 기준 전위점을 확보할뿐만 아니라 낮은 대지저항으로 고장전류나 과도 전류를 흐르게 한다. 접지임피던스는 주파수에 대한 함수로 고장이나 과도전류가 넓은 범위의 주파수 성분을 포함하기 때문에 접지성능을 평가하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 스테인리스강판 접지전극의 접지특성을 파악하기 위하여 3점 전위강하법으로 접지저항, 접지임피던스와 과도접지임피던스를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터를 이용하여 접지임피던스와 과도접지임피던스의 등가 전달함수 모델은 ARMA 기법으로 모델링 되었고, 규약접지임피던스로 비교하여 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 접지임피던스의 주파수 의존성에 대하여 기술하였다. 사용중인 접지시스템의 과도응답특성을 평가기법을 제안하기 위하여 가변주파수 인버터와 대역통과 필터를 사용하여 인가전류의 주파수를 가변시키면서 접지임피던스를 측정하였다. 20[Hz]∼2.1[kHz] 범위의 주파수에서 접지임피던스의 크기와 위상을 분석한 결과 접지임피던스는 인가전류의 주파수가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 22.9[kV] 변전실 접지시스템에서 인가전류의 주파수가 2[kHz]일 때 측정한 접지임피던스는60[Hz]일 때 보다 거의 3배 정도 증가하였다. 접지시스템의 주파수 의존성은 접지도체의 인덕턴스에 의해 나타나는 리액턴스 성분에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 뇌서지 보호용 접지시스템에서는 인덕턴스를 줄이는 방향으로 접지그리드의 형태와 규모를 결정하는 것이 필수적이다.

For lightning currents, a grounding system shows the transient grounding impedance characteristics. A grounding system for protection against lightning should be evaluated by the transient grounding impedance, not it's ground resistance. The transient grounding impedance varies with the shape of ground electrode and earth characteristics as well as the waveform of lightning surge current. For the analysis and practical use of transient grounding impedance, the characteristics of transient grounding impedance should be analyzed theoretically and this paper suggests the theoretical analysis for the transient grounding impedance of counterpoise by using the distributed parameter circuit model. EMTP and Matlab are used to simulate the distributed parameter circuit model of counterpoise and the adequacy of the distributed parameter model of counterpoise is examined by comparing the simulated results with the measured results.

The transient characteristics of grounding systems play a major role in the protection of power equipments, electronic circuits and info-communication facilities against surges which arise from lightning or ground faults. Electronic devices are very weak against lightning surges injected from grounding systems and can be damaged. The malfunction and damage of electronic circuits bring about bad operation performances, a lot of economical losses, and etc. Therefore, in order to obtain the effective protection measure of electronic devices from overvoltages and lightning surges, the analysis of the transient grounding impedances in essential. One of this work is to examine the transient behaviors of grounding impedances under steplike currents for various grounding systems. And the other of this work is to evaluate the transient behaviors of a grid with rods under impulse currents and to investigate the effect of grounding lead wire. Transient grounding impedances of a grid with rods under impulse current waves have been measured as a parameter of the length of the grounding leads. Z-t, Z-i and V-i curves of transient grounding impedance under impulse current waveforms have been measured and analyzed. It was found that the grounding impedance gives the inductive, resistive and capacitive aspects under steplike current. Transient grounding impedance characteristics were very different with shapes, geometries of ground electrodes. Also, they were dependent on the waveform and magnitude of impulse current.

One of key parameters on lightning protection system design of electric, information and communication system is grounding impedance. Earth impedance includes numerous information about earthing performance of grounding system. This paper suggests grounding impedance measuring device which is comprised of wideband current source, voltage and current measuring components. We used IQ Demodulation to measure more accurate phase difference of voltage and current. The range of frequency is up to 1 MHz that is IEEE defined as the range of lightning surge. We compared developed grounding impedance measuring device with existing one to test its performance, and we used grounding system while we implemented measurement and analysing by using fall of potential method IEEE Std.81 proposed.

연구목적: 전기로 인한 화재·폭발·감전 등의 재해를 예방하기 위한 방법 중의 하나가 접지를 시행하는 것이다. 접지전류가 높은 주파수 성분을 포함하는 경우에는 접지저항보다는 접지임피던스를 측정하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 수 kHz 이상의 주파수 성분을 가지는 접지전류에 의한 대지전위상승을 억제하기 위한 접지임피던스를 줄이는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법: 대지에 접지동봉과 접지침봉을 매설하여 각각 접지저항과 접지임피던스를 측정하였고, 주파수에 따른 접지임피던스의 특성을 파악하였다. 연구결과: 접지동봉과 접지침봉의 접지저항 측정 결과는 거의 차이가 없었다. 62.5kHz 보다 낮은 주파수 영역에서는 접지동봉이나 접지침봉의 접지임피던스 측정 결과는 거의 차이가 없었으며, 62.5kHz 보다 높은 주파수 영역에서는 접지침봉의 접지임피던스가 접지동봉의 접지임피던스보다 약 15% 정도의 저감효과가 있었다. 결론: 상용주파수 영역에서 접지저항 값을 낮추기 위하여 다수의 접지극을 공통으로 접지하는 것이 효과적이고, 접지임피던스가 낮은 접지침봉을 설치하는 경우 수 kHz 이상의 주파수 성분을 가지는 접지전류에 의한 대지전위상승을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
