Abstract

The effects of the position of potential probe on the measurements of the ground resistance in the fa11-of-potential method are described. The ground resistance is theoretically calculated by applying the 61.8[%] rule, and then the potential probe is located on the straight line between the grounding electrode to be measured and the current probe. However, sometimes the grounding electrode to be measured and the measuring potential and current probes in on-site test might not be arranged on the straight line with adequate distance because there are building, roadblock construction and other establishments. Provided that the grounding electrode to be measured and the measuring potential probes are out of position on the straight line, the measurement of the ground resistance classically falls into an error and the measured ground resistance should be corrected. In this work, measurements were focused on the grounding electrode system made by the ground rods of 2.4 m long. The measuring error was increased with increasing the angle which is made by the 3-points of the grounding electrode to be measured, the potential anti current probes, and it was a negative. That is, all of the measured ground resistances ware less than the true ground resistance.

본 논문에서는 전위강하법에 의한 접지저항 측정시 전위보조전극 위치의 영향에 대하여 기술하였다. 전위강하법에서 접지저항은 이론적으로 전위보조전극을 피측정 접지전극과 전류보조전극이 이루는 일직선상에 위치시킬때 61.8[%]법칙을 적용하여 측정한다. 하지만 측정현장의 사정상 전위보조전극의 위치를 피측정 접지전극과 전류 보조전극이 이루는 일직선과 어느 정도의 각도를 가지도록 시설하여 접지저항을 측정하게 될 경우에 측정오차가 발생하게 되고 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서의 측정대상 전극은 길이 2.4 [m]의 봉형 접지전극으로 하였으며, 피측정 접지전극, 전위보조전극, 전류보조전극이 일직선상에 놓이지 않은 상태에서 접지저항을 측정하면 측정값은 항상 (-)의 오차를 나타내었고, 이들 전극이 이루는 각도가 증가함에 따라 측정 오차도 증가하였다.
