Abstract

The present paper describes a technique for installing an effective grounding grids, the major objective is forced on the experimental evaluation of the performance and characteristics with the arrangement and installation method for grounding grids consisting of the means to protect electric shock, electronics and computerized facilities against lightning, switching and ground fault surges. The study is oriented on two major areas: (1) the analysis of the ground surface potential gradient with the arrangement of grounding grids, (2) the control of the dangerous ground surface potential rise. The experiments wee carried out with the impulse currents as a function of the installation method or arrangement of grounding grids. An installation method of the inclined auxiliary grounding grid was proposed to overcome the drawbacks of equally spared grounding grids, i.e. an appropriate design concept far the installation of grounding grids was found out, It has been shown that the installation of the intwined auxiliary grounding grid can also result in a mere than 50% decrease in the maximum potential gradient on the ground surface and enhance the level of safety for persons and electronic equipments..

본 논문에서는 효과적인 접지그리드 설치기법에 대하여 기술하였으며, 낙뢰나 지락고장서지, 개폐서지 등으로 부터 인체의 감전보호나 컴퓨터를 비롯한 전기·전자기기의 보호를 위한 접지그리드의 시설 및 배치방법에 따른 실험적인 평가를 수행하였다. 접지그리드의 배치에 따른 대지표면전위경도의 분석과 위험전압으로 작용하는 대지 표면전위상승의 억제에 주안점을 두고 실험용 모델접지전극을 시설한 후 임 펄스전류를 인가하였다. 기존의 등간격 접지그리드의 결점을 보완하기 위해 접지그리드에 경사를 가지는 보조접지그리드를 시설하였으며, 보조접지그리드를 시설한 접지시스템에서는 인체나 전기·전자기기에 위험전압으로 작용하는 대지표면전위경도를 최대 50%이상 완화시키는 효과를 얻었다.
