Abstract
Grounding insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a law resistance path for fault or transient currents in the earth. The ground impedance as a function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault or transient currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. A copper rod electrode is the most commonly used grounding electrode in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the grounding impedance of copper rods has been measured in frequency raging from 60[Hz] up to 100 [kHz] and an equivalent model of the grounding impedance is identified from the measured values. The grounding impedance under study when a typical lightning surge is injected into the grounding system was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the EDSA software program.
