A street light is an electrical equipment to improve the traffic safety and the security for people in night. However, many accidents due to electric shock have happened in recent, people were interested in the safety of electrical facilities. And people want to know the danger by touch and step voltages. When the electric power lines fall down on the ground, the fault current flows to ground rod and the potential near the ground rod is increased to induce the high touch and step voltages. In this paper, we installed different ground rods with a street light and investigated the electrical potential according to ground methods and the types of ground rod. Finally, we examined the electrical facilities with the experimental result and present the improved technical data for the safety from electric shock

본 논문은 축소형 모델 접지전극이 접속된 금속제 구조물 주변의 대지표면전위분포와 위험전압에 대하여 기술하였다. 접지에 관련된 문제를 실제 현장데이터로부터 적정한 결론을 도출하기는 매우 어려우므로 접지전극 주변의 전위분포와 접촉전압, 보폭전압의 산정에 축소형 모델시험을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 균질토양을 모의하기 위해 직경이 1,100[mm] 반구형 용기를 사용하였다. 실험결과, 접지전극 주변의 대지표면전위는 매우 높게 나타났으며, 특히 접지전극의 직상부의 대지표면전위는 다른 위치에 비해 높게 나타났다. 접지전극의 매설깊이가 증가함에 따라 대지표면전위와 보폭전압은 낮아지지만 접촉전압은 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 접지에 관련된 문제를 실제 현장데이터로부터 해결할 수 있는 유용한 방법을 제안하기 위하여 실규모와 축소모델 접지전극 주변에서 측정된 접촉전압, 보폭전압과 표면전위분포에 대한 실험결과를 기술하였다. 사례연구로서 가로등, 교통신호등과 제어기와 같은 도로시설물의 설치에 사용되는 콘크리트 기초좌대 주변의 대지표면전위분포와 위험전압을 측정하고 검토하였다. 균질의 토양을 모의하기 위하여 직경이 1,160[mm]인 반구형 용기를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 축소모델을 이용하여 측정한 결과는 실규모설비에서 얻은 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 축소모델 실험은 산악, 지하, 수중 등과 같이 접근할 수 없는 장소에 설치된 접지전극 주변의 위험전압을 평가하는 유용한 수단으로 이용될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

This paper dealt with the design, fabrication and application of a risk voltage measurement system (RVMS) which analyzes the step and touch voltages in electrical grounding systems. The RVMS supply 300 V and 1.4 A in ranges from 40 Hz to 1 kHz as the test power source. A DAQ module having resolution of 400 kS/s and 16 bit is equipped with 7 inputs for measuring voltage and current. Also, a noise elimination algorithm of digital filter was applied to reduce the measurement error caused by external noises as a commercial frequency current. The performance of the RVMS was evaluated by measurement of the step and touch voltage according to the IEEE standard 80 and 81 in a grounding system with a 10 m counterpoise. The result showed that the RVMS analyzes the risk voltage with the error below 5%.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a Risk Voltage Meter (RVM) which can analyze the step and touch voltages in grounding systems. The meter consists of a sine-wave power source which generates up to 300 [$V_{rms}$] in ranges of 45 [Hz]~1 [kHz], a 8 Ch. data acquisition module, and a personal computer. Also, a noise elimination method by a digital band-pass filter during measurement is proposed.

The touch or step voltages which exist in the vicinity of a grounding electrode are closely related to the earth structure and resistivity and the ground current. The grounding design approach is required to determine the grounding electrode location where the hazardous voltages are minimized. In this paper, in order to propose a method of mitigating the electric shock hazards caused by the ground surface potential rise in the vicinity of a counterpoise, the hazards relevant to touch voltage were evaluated as a function of the soil resistivity ratio $\rho_2/\rho_1$ for several practical values of two-layer earth structures. The touch voltage and current on the ground surface just above the test electrode are calculated with CDEGS program. As a consequence, it was found that burying a grounding electrode in the soil with low resistivity is effective to reduce the electric shock hazards. In the case that the bottom layer soil where a counterpoise is buried has lower resistivity than the upper layer soil, when the upper layer soil resistivity is increased, the surface potential is slightly raised, but the current through the human body is reduced with increasing the upper layer soil resistivity because of the greater contact resistance between the earth surface and the feet. The electric shock hazard in the vicinity of grounding electrodes is closely related to soil structure and resistivity and are reduced with increasing the ration of the upper layer resistivity to the bottom layer resistivity in two-layer soil.

In measurement of risk voltages; the step and touch voltage, the distance between the current electrode and the ground electrode recedes up to several hundred meters as the scale of grounding system increases. This paper dealt with the measurement method of risk voltage in a restricted space. The risk voltage was analyzed depending on the distance and the direction of the current electrode from the ground electrode in a $10[m]{\times}10[m]$ mesh grounding system. The average value of risk voltages measured at a point 20 [m] away from the current electrode was deviated below 5 [%] from that measured at 100 [m] point. Consequently, the evaluation of risk voltage of a large-scale grounding system buried in a spatially restricted place is available if the current electrode is installed in symmetry to the ground electrode.

This paper presents experimental results on the safety of persons due to a ground fault in 22.9 kV-Y distribution system In order to evaluate the touch voltages due to internal ground faults in a step down transformer based on the newly prescribed KS C IEC 60364 standard series, the verification tests in a 22.9 kV multi-grounded neutral system were carried out From the experimental results, it was found that there will be significant potential rise jeopardizing LV equipment insulation in case of separate grounding between HV and LV system and the effective measures against hazardous touch voltages due to a IN side ground fault in the common grounding system between HV and LV system are proposed. As a consequence, it was found that the equipotential bonding is an important prerequisite for the effectiveness of the protective measures for the safety of persons in the common ground system between 22.9 kV-Y and low-voltage grounding system.

Generally, grounding systems are responsible for the safe operation of a power system. Their performance guarantees equipment protection and personnel safety under condition of the limited ground potential rise and touch voltages as well as step voltages under ground fault conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the ground resistance frequently for checking the performance of grounding system, In this paper the ground resistance measuring system using digital signal processor and high-performance L-C resonant band pass filter is presented. The signal current magnitude for measuring ground resistance in this system is $10^{-1}[A]\;to\;5\times10^{-2}[A]$ and the current frequency is 30[Hz].

Grounding systems are responsible rot the safe operation of a power system whetehr power system fault occures or not, their performance guarantees equipmet protection and personnel safety by limited the ground potential rise and touch voltages as well as step voltages under ground fault condition. therefore, it is necessary to measure the ground resistance frequently for checing the performance of grounding system. In order to verigy the designed grounding measurement system feasibility, two comparison verifications, which are the ground resistnace measurements using the designed system on power service and off power service, are carried out for the same substation.
