This paper presents a comparison of experimental value by hemispherical grounding simulation system and calculated value by CDEGS program for ground potential rise of structure. When a test current flowed through structure grounding electrodes, ground potential rise was measured and analyzed for types of structure using the hemispherical grounding simulation system in real time, and was computed by means of CDEGS program. The model structures were designed and fabricated with two types on a scale of one-one hundred sixty. When the experimental data were compared with the theoretical values, the similar profile was shown. Therefore, the confidence of measurement was obtained. The distributions of ground surface potential are dependent on the resistivity and absorption percentage in concrete attached to structure.

Although DC ground resistance is a good index of performance for a grounding system, it does not reflect the grounding performance during the transient states. 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.

The Korean distribution line currently consists of overhead ground wires (OHGW), overhead distribution lines, neutral wires (NW), and messenger wires (MW). The MW is installed under the NW. The lightning protection system in Korea is focused on OHGW and lightning arrester and the MW are not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes the applicability of MW for purpose of lightning protection. For this, we analyzed the effects of lightning overvoltage according to the existence of OHGW and MW and the grounding conditions of the MW in the Korean distribution system. The grounding conditions of the MW that we took into consideration were the common or separate grounding of the MW and NW. The analysis based on the equivalent circuit of the distribution pole at each condition was performed. The distribution lines and lightning were modeled using the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). For each of the installation conditions of the OHGW and MW, the various lightning conditions were simulated and analyzed for both direct and indirect lightning. The simulation results showed that, if the OHGW was not installed in the Korean distribution system, the lightning overvoltage could be reduced by the common grounding of the MW and NW.

Signalling equipments at railroad sites are widely exposed to high voltage lightning surges. This paper presents a lightning protection system for the signalling equipments at subway car depots. The main features of the system are as follows : (1)the common grounding system between power system grounds and the signaling system grounds, (2)physical and chemical methods to reduce grounding resistivity, (3)rearrangement of lightning rods based on the rolling bal1 theory, (4)equi-potential bonding networks to minimize the potential differences between the equipments grounds. The system has been constructed at six subway car depots in Seoul metropolitan area and it is measured that the grounding resistivity are reduced to 0.266 ohms and the potential differences between devices are reduced to a negligible quantity. After the construction of the systems, it has not been reported the break-down of the signalling equipments caused by lighting surges.

Most accidents occurred in power receiving & transforming facility are ground fault. The quality of power supply is deteriorated since the ground fault is not detected promptly. This paper analyzes the problems about system-grounding type of 2 step power receiving & transforming facility, arrangement of protection relaying scheme and ground-fault protection system of ungrounded system. Then, this paper presents the arranging scheme of system-grounding type to improve power supply reliability.

Since it is frequently reported, nowadays, that a variety of accidents happen in association with a street light, it is urgently demanded to take necessary measures to cope with such situation. In this aspect, it is important to study the grounding characteristics of a street light because most of the accidents are related to grounding. In this paper, therefore, the grounding characteristics of a street light have been investigated based on layers by using CDEGS. As a result of simulation, the soil resistivity turns out to be extremely important determining the characteristics of a grounding system.

When we design the grounding grid, dangerous voltage ANSI/IEEE Std. 80 method has been commonly used in the domestic area. However, the suitability of the ground rules for the design environment available. However, the suitability of the ground rules for the design environment available. In this paper, sticks according to the electrode conductor in combination with the mesh in order to design the ground by the IEEE Std.80 was designed. So in this paper, we examined of IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage method marginal utility and we induced for those problems by comparison between IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage value and simulation experimentation value. Furthermore, this paper presents a new design grounding system method that complements the IEEE Std. 80 method.

In this paper, we investigate the grounding installation using grounding electrode into the earth in order to protect the power transmission line and transmission system and to improve the reliability of operations. Grounding electrode into the earth that has small grounding resistance is found to be very cost effective compare to other electrode systems by the ease of installation and making the earth damage small.

This paper analyses the lightning overvoltage with earth of grounding wire and installation types of arresters in double circuits distribution systems. First, the model for analysis is selected severer case between upper line and lower line when the direct lightning surge strikes on the overhead grounding wire. The lightning overvoltage is variously calculated with earth distance between overhead grounding wires. This paper also analyses the effect of the installation distance between arrestors and the earth resistance of overhead grounding wire. From these results, authors examine the rationality of BIL that is applied in distribution system.

A ground electrode subjected to lightning surge current shows the transient impedance behaviors. The ground electrode for protection against lightning should be evaluated in view of the transient grounding impedance and conventional grounding impedance, not ground resistance. The transient impedance characteristics of ground electrodes are influenced by the shape of ground electrode and the soil characteristics, as well as the waveform of lightning surge current. In order to propose a simulation method of analyzing the transient impedance characteristics of the grounding system in practical use, this paper suggests a theoretical analysis method of distributed parameter circuit model to simulate the transient impedance characteristics of counterpoise subjected to lightning surge current. EMTP and Matlab programs were employed to compute the transient grounding impedances of three counterpoises with different lengths. As a consequence, the simulated results using the proposed distributed parameter circuit model are in good agreement with the measured results.
