접지시스템 구축의 근본 목적은 인체의 안전(Safety)과 설비의 안정(Stability)을 목적으로 하며, 보호목적에 따라 전력설비용 접지와 약전용 접지로 크게 나눌 수 있다. 전력설비용접지(Frame Earth)는 감전이나 설비의 피해를 방지하기 위한 것으로서 주로 보안용접지에 속하며 평상시에는 접지선에 전류가 흐르지 않는 것이 일반적이다. 이에 반하여 약전용접지(Signal Earth)는 전자통신 회로의 안정된 동작을 확보하기 위한 것으로 평상시에도 전류가 흐르는 것이 일반적이다. 이와 같이 접지시스템은 인축의 안전과 설비의 안정적 가동확보를 위해 대단히 중요한 설비이며, 특히 전력설비용 접지의 목적은 대지면의 국부적 전위상승에 따른 인체의 감전사고방지와 1선지락사고시 전위상승억제 및 보호계전기의 확실한 동작을 도모하기 위하여 실시한다. 본 연구에서는 2011. 10월 준공예정인 시화조력발전소의 전력설비용 접지시스템을 대상으로 IEEE에서 제시하는 목표접지저항값 유지여부를 평가하였다.

Ground systems flow fault currents into the ground, and suppress Ground Potential Rise (GPR) by the current. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a surge impedance meter to analyze the ground impedance in wide frequency ranges. The meter consists of a surge generator, a high speed sample/hold (S/H) circuit and an associated electronics. The surge generator produces surge voltage up to 5kV in ranges of $50\sim500ns$. Field tests were carried out to evaluate the surge impedance meter at a driven-rod ground system. The results showed that surge impedance of ground systems should be measured by various fast surge waveforms, since the impedance increases as the rise time of applied voltage increases.

Conventional methods of measuring ground resistance and ground resistance field measurement are used to measure voltage drop according to the resistance value of the site by applying current by installing a constant interval of measurement electrode. If the stratified structure of the site site is unique, errors in boundary conditions will occur in the event of back acid and the analysis of the critical ground resistance in the ground design will show much difference from simulation. This study utilizes the Arduino module and smart ground measurement technology in the convergent information and communication environment to develop a reliable smart land resistance measuring device even if the top layer of land is unique, to analyze the land resistance and accumulate data to predict the change in the age of the land. Considering the topographical characteristics of the site, we propose a ground resistance measuring device and its method of measuring ground resistance so that the auxiliary electrode can be installed by correctly positioning the angle and distance in measuring ground resistance. Not only is ground resistance value obtained through electrodes installed to allow accurate ground resistance values to be selected, but it can also be used as a useful material for installing electrical facilities in similar areas. Moreover, by utilizing reliable data and analyzing the large sections of the site, a precise analysis of the site, which is important in ground design as well as construction cost, is expected to be used much in ground facility design such as potential rise.

우리 나라의 전력 계통은 대도시 중심부 등 사람의 왕래가 빈번한 곳이나 신도시 지역 등에 22.9kV-y 배전 방식으로 CNCV 지중 케이블로 전력을 공급하고 있으며, 선로 운영상 케이블의 동심중성선을 일정 구간 마다 3선 일활 공동 접지하는 다중 접지방식을 채택하고 있다. 이는 지락 사고시에는 동심 중성선의 대지 전위 상승을 일정 값 이하로 제한함과 동시에 보호계전기의 동작을 원활히 하기 위함이다. 그러나 지중 배전 선로에서 각 상(A,B,C상)의 부하가 불평형이 될 때는 물론 평형일 경우에도 동심 중성선에는 부하 전류에 비례하는 동심 중성선 순환 전류가 발생되고 있기 때문에 불필요한 손실 전력이 발생하며, 이러한 손실 전력으로 케이블의 내부 온도가 상승되어 케이블의 송진용량이 감소하게 된다. 따라서 2006년 7월12일${\sim}$14일 대한전기학회 하계학술대회에 이에 대한 문제점과 대책으로 비일괄공동접지에 관한 연구 논문을 발표 한 바 있으며, 본 인구는 일곽공동접지방식의 기능을 저해하지 않으면서 비일관공동접지기술을 안전하게 시행하는 방법과 예상되는 문제점 및 시행효과 검증에 관한 연구이다.

This paper presents measurement results of transient impedance for small-sized ground electrodes in a discharge region of soil. For a realistic analysis of ionization characteristics near the ground electrode, three types of ground rod installed outdoors and high voltage impulse generator were used for injecting test current. From the analysis of response voltage and current flowing ground electrode to earth, it is verified that the ionization near the ground electrode contributes to reduction of ground impedance and limits the ground potential rise effectively in high resistivity soil. As a threshold electric field density for ionization is small in low resistivity soil, the shape of ground electrode rarely contributes to the transient impedance. And, from the experiment result with shape of ground electrode, the rod with needles is more effective to reduce the transient impedance than the plate electrode in the voltage range including with ionization regions of soil.

Recently, a number of equipments related with electricity, electronics, and communication in the same building are needed to the grounding system for safety from unexpected accidents. When the faulted electric current flows into a certain grounding system, the potential rise in that system takes place and it might induce the potential rise to other grounding system. This potential interference was strongly affected by the surface potential, which was deeply related with the electrode shape. In this paper, the fundamental formula was deduced on the basis of surface potential of two grounding electrodes. Which corresponds to source of the potential interference and other grounding electrode, respectively. Therefore, the degree of potential interference in this mesh grounding electrode system was verified by the simple model simulation. In addition, in order to identify the difference between the grounding resistance in the realistic construction site and the expected value from the corresponding simulation, the experiment was performed with model on a reduced scale about the realistic grounding system. It consists of stainless steel hemisphere electrodes in a water tank. From this work, the grounding resistance in the mesh grounding electrode showed the good coincidence results between those. Consequently, it is confirmed that the grounding resistance in the mesh electrode is possible to be estimated by performing the experiment using the water tank model.

Wide use of non-linear loads such as personal computers, monitors, laser printers, variable speed drives, UPS systems and other electronic equipment have led to harmonics becoming #1 issue in the electrical industry today. Commercial and Industrial building power distribution systems, designed for the old, linear-style loads especially when found in high densities. Some common power system problems include overloaded neutral conductors, overheated distribution transfOlmers, high neutral-to-ground voltage, poor power factor and distortion of the voltage waveform supplying these loads. The power quality problems, particularly high voltage distortion, have been known to cause equipment downtime due to malfunctions and component failure.

피접지체의 접지는 전력설비의 절연파괴,낙뢰 등으로 전압이 침입할 경우 접지전극의 접지저항이 높으면 접지전극으로 유입되는 전류와 접지저항의 곱에 해당하는 접지전극의 전위가 상승하게 되므로 설비의 파손 인축의 피해 등이 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서 접지저항은 낮은 값으로 유지하는것이 필요하고 정기적으로 측정하여 관리하도록 규정하고 있다. 대표적인 접지저항측정방법으로는 3전극법(Fall of potential method)과 Hook-on 측정법이 있다. 그러나 3전극법은 측정하고자 하는 접지전극으로부터 일정한 거리에 전류를 흘려주고 이때 대지 전위를 측정 할 수 있는 2개의 보조전극 설치가 필수적이나 접지극과 접지선의 단자와는 설치 위치가 다르므로 접지전극의 설치점을 확인하기 곤란하고 건물내부, 지하철, 터널 등에는 보조전극의 설치가 거의 불가능하므로 처음 설치한 접지극의 접지저항측정관리에 어려움이 크다. 또한 Hook-on 측정법은 다중 접지 계통에 사용하는 방법으로 접지극이 수십 또는 수백개를 병렬로 연결한 경우 측정하고저 하는 접지그의 접지저항값에 비해 나머지 접지전극 전체의 합성저항이 무시할 수 있을 만큼 적은 경우에만 측정할 수 있으므로 건물이나 변전실 등 수개의 접지극이 설치된 경우는 사용할 수 없다. 본 연구는 보조전극을 설치하지 않고 측정하고자하는 접지전극 상호간의 전류분배 비율을 저항의 역수 비율로 하여 각각의 접지 전극의 접지저항값을 운전 중인 상태에서 간단하고 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 새로운 접지저항 측정 방법에 관한 연구이다.

Skyscrapers, large business buildings, and IT consumers use many appliances, and the electrical power stems can cause fires by overheating. This can result in damaged capacitors, lost data, rising ground potential, and communication obstacles from linear or nonlinear high frequency. To make sure of that we investigated 7 spots of a building, among which 6-spots were fair but the other one needed high frequency control. Spots 3, 6, and 7 needed diagnostic workup, and spots 2, 3, and 5 considered 5 high frequency currents. A phase is all of good but the high frequency current is greater than the standard level except for spot 1. As a result, a zigzag transformer or active filter needs to be installed, and the efficiency needs to be upgraded by investigating load unbalance factors and power factors.
