Abstract

The grounding impedance is not lowered by expanding the dimension of the grounding electrode, and the length of grounding electrode which shows the minimum value of the grounding impedance for each condition of frequency and soil characteristics is existent, and it is defined as Critical Length. In this paper, a new distributed parameter circuit model considering the condition of the multi-layered soil structures was proposed, and the grounding impedance and critical length of the vertical grounding electrode were analyzed by using the newly proposed simulation model and the MATLAB program. As a consequence, it was found that the effect of the soil structure on the frequency-dependent grounding impedance and critical length of the vertical grounding electrode is significant. It is desirable to consider the soil structure in optimal design of the grounding system.

접지임피던스는 접지전극의 크기를 증가시켜도 낮아지지 않고, 토양의 특성과 주파수 조건에 따라 접지 임피던스가 최소값을 보이는 접지전극의 길이가 존재하며, 이 접지전극의 길이를 각 토양 특성과 주파수에 따른 임계길이라 한다. 본 논문에서는 대지구조의 조건을 고려하는 새로운 분포정수회로모델을 제안하였으며, 새로이 제안된 해석모델을 적용하여 MATLAB프로그램으로 수직접지전극의 임계길이와 접지임피던스를 해석하였다. 그 결과, 수직접지전극의 임계길이와 접지임피던스의 주파수의존성에 대한 대지구조의 영향이 크며, 접지시스템의 최적 설계를 위해서는 대지구조를 고려하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 밝혀졌다.
