Grounding is the art of making an electrical connection to the earth. In order to protect man, electrical and/or electric equipments from the lightning strokes, all the energy of lightning strokes must be diverted via a safe path to earth. It is essential to the transient grounding resistance against lightning strokes. In this paper, measurements and analyses of grounding surge impedance have been investigated. For measurements of grounding surge impedance the pulse generator was designed and fabricated. The pulse generator has rise time of 22.4 ns and pulse duration of $8\;{\mu}s$. The transient grounding resistance has been measuring by injecting low power and step current between the earthing system under test and a remote reference earth and measuring the potential rise caused by this current. As a result, the transient grounding resistance against lightning surge in the short time domain is much higher than steady state grounding resistance.

This paper presents the characteristics of grounding impedance of counterpoises buried at various soil structures. Grounding impedance measurements were made by the Fall-of-Potential method. The experiments were carried out in 50 m counterpoise of 25 $mm^2$ buried at a depth of 0.5 m. The test current was injected by the impulse generator having the front time of $1{\sim}60{\mu}s$. As a result, the soil structures greatly influences on the grounding impedance characteristics of counterpoise. The transient grounding impedances strongly depend on the injection mint and the front time of impulse current.

Although DC ground resistance is a good index of grounding performance for grounding electrodes, it does not reflect the grounding performance during transient state. Besides, impulse ground impedance, which is defined by a ratio of the peak value of transient ground potential rise to the peak value of impulse current, cannot be an absolute index due to its dependence on impulse current shape. In this paper, ground impedance characteristics of ground electrodes has been measured in frequency domain ranging from 1 Hz to hundreds of kHz. Equivalent circuit models and transfer function models of the ground rod have been identified from the measured values of ground impedance in frequency domain.

Since DC ground resistance, which is a good index of the performance of a grounding system in low frequency. does not show the performance in transient state. We measured ground impedances in frequency domain ranging from 0.1 Hz to 900 KHz maximum to quantify the transient grounding performance of 4 types of grounding system. Transfer function was derived from the measured frequency-dependant ground impedance of a grounding grid. A simulation has been performed to verify the transfer function using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program).

This paper presents the characteristics of transient and effective impulse impedances for deeply driven grounding electrodes used in soil with high resistivity or in downtown areas. The laboratory test associated with the time domain performance of grounding piles subjected to a lightning stroke current has been carried out using an actual-sized model grounding system. The ground impedances of the deeply driven ground rods and grounding pile under impulse currents showed inductive characteristics, and the effective impulse ground impedance owing to the inductive component is higher than the power frequency ground impedance. Both power frequency ground impedance and effective impulse ground impedance decrease upon increasing the length of the model grounding electrodes. Furthermore, the effective impulse ground impedances of the deeply driven grounding electrodes are significantly amplified in impulse currents with a rapid rise time. The reduction of the power frequency ground impedance is decisive to improve the impulse impedance characteristics of grounding systems.

When the transient current with high frequency components such as lightning surges are injected the grounding electrodes, the performance of grounding electrodes should be evaluated as grounding impedance. It is restricted to analyze the grounding impedance by measurement approach since the grounding impedance is very different with the shape and size of grounding electrodes, resistivity and relative permittivity of soil and the frequency component of the injected current. So a variety of simulation approaches have been developed. Typically, the soil resistivity measured with low frequency and relative permittivity between 1 and 80 are used for simulation of the grounding impedance. However, the resistivity and relative permittivity of soil are changed with frequency of injected current. In this paper, the frequency-dependent resistivity and relative permittivity of soil are measured and these parameters are reflected in the simulation of the grounding impedance of a ground rod. The simulated results are compared with the measured results. As a result, the simulated results with frequency-dependent soil parameters show capacitive aspect like measured results in the frequency of lower than 100[kHz] and they are more consistent with the measured results in wide frequency range.

Besides, impulse ground impedance, which is defined by a ratio of the peak value of transient ground potential rise to the peak value of impulse current, cannot be an absolute performance index due to its dependence on impulse current shape. In this paper, a grounding performance of needle-typed ground rod has been compared with simple ground rod using HIFREQ[1], which is an engineering electro-magnetic code based on MoM (Method of Moment).

접지전극의 형태, 크기, 재질 및 임펄스전류의 형상에 따라 변화하는 과도접지임피던스는 접지시스템의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 기존의 실효임펄스임피던스가 실제 과도접지임피던스를 얼마나 효과적으로 나타내고 있는가에 대한 분석과 보다 효과적인 과도접지임피던스 평가방법에 대하여 실험적인 결과를 제시하였다. 실험에 사용된 접지전극은 저항성분과 인덕턴스를 포함한 모의 접지전극과 1[m] 탄소접지봉, 9[m] 일반동봉 그리고 40[m] 매설지선이며, 가변주파수 전류와 임펄스전류에 의한 접지임피던스를 각각 측정하였다. 각각의 값을 비교 했을 때 기존의 실효임펄스임피던스의 값보다는 전압의 최대 값과 전류의 최대 값을 이용하여 과도접지임피던스를 구한 임피던스 값($Z_1$)이 등가주파수에 해당하는 가변주파수 전류에 의해 구해진 접지임피던스에 근접함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 인하도선의 설치에 따른 접지시스템의 임펄스전류에 대한 과도임피던스 특성을 다루었다. 임펄스전류를 심매설 봉상 접지전각과 그리드 접지전극에 인가하였을 때 임펄스전류의 상승시간과 인하도선의 길이에 따른 전위상승과 실효임펄스접지임피던스를 측정하고 분석하였다. 과도접지임피던스는 접지전극의 형상과 크기 및 임펄스전류의 파형과 인하도선의 길이에 강하게 의존하며, 인덕턴스가 최소화되도록 인하도선을 설치하는 기법이 과도접지 임피던스의 저감을 위한 중요한 요소이다.

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.
