This paper presents numerical analysis of measurement errors of ground electrode using the fall-of-potential method. In order to analyze ground resistance error according to the positions of auxiliary probes, firstly, national and international standards were researched. Secondly, numerical ground resistance error of hemispheric electrode was analyzed according to the locations of auxiliary probes and the angle between probes. Then, error-reduced positions of auxiliary probes were shown according to the distance to auxiliary current probe versus ground electrode size. Finally, error compensation method was presented. The results presented in this paper provide useful information regarding ground resistance error of alternative positions of auxiliary probes in case that the auxiliary probes could not be located at the proper position in such cases as there are buildings, roadblock or underground metallic pipe at that position.

Among ground impedance measurement methods, the fall-of-potential method is the most thorough and reliable method. In the fall-of-potential method, ground electrode and auxiliary probes are placed in a straight line, and then, auxiliary potential probe is moved away from the ground electrode. The point at which plotted resistance curve flattens out is taken as right position of auxiliary potential probe. However, in some cases, it is hard to place ground electrode and auxiliary probes in a straight line. Therefore, we provided alternative placement method in this research. The method can be easily applicable to placing auxiliary probes. Also, this paper analyzed and compared ground impedance measurement standards of large grounding systems. Based on the analysis, practical measurement method using an earth tester was proposed. The proposed methods presented in this paper will be useful when determining locations of auxiliary probes in alternative positions, and the methods can be applied practically and easily.

This paper presents measurement error reduction technique of touch and step voltage of grounding system based on numerical analysis. When measuring touch and step voltage of grounding system, auxiliary current probes should be located at suitable places. However, the auxiliary probes can not be located at suitable places in such cases as there are buildings and pavements. Therefore, in this paper, we provided measurement error reduction technique of touch and step voltage of grounding system according to the positions of auxiliary probes and angle between auxiliary probes. Also, measurement error analyses of touch and step voltage of grounding system have been conducted using more than one current probe. Based on these analyses, recommended positions of auxiliary probes within allowable measurement errors were presented.

In this paper, the effects of the position and the angle of the auxiliary probes on the measurements of the low frequency ground impedance with the fall-of-potential method are described iud the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-pot ential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position and angle of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the characteristics of ground impedance due to the location of the potential probe, ground impedances were measured in case that the distance of current probe was fixed at 50[m] and the distance of potential probe was located from 10[m] to 50[m]. Also, the potential robe was located at 30[$^{\circ}$], 40[$^{\circ}$], 60[$^{\circ}$], 90[$^{\circ}$], and 180[$^{\circ}$]. The results could be help to determine the location of potential probe when the ground impedance was measured at grounding system.

In this paper, the effects of the position and the angle of the potential probes on the measurements of the ground resistance using the fall-of-potential method are described and the testing techniques for minimizing the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-potential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position and angle of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the relative error in the measured value of the ground resistance due to the position of the potential probe, the ground resistance was measured for the case in which the distance of the current probe was fixed at 50[m] and the distance of the potential probe was located from 10[m] to 50[m]. Also, the potential probe was located in turn at $30[^{\circ}]$, $45[^{\circ}]$, $60[^{\circ}]$, $90[^{\circ}]$, and $180[^{\circ}]$. As a consequence, relative error decreased with increasing distance of the potential probe and decreasing angle between the current probe and potential probe. The results could help to determine the position of the potential probe during the ground resistance measurement.

본 논문에서는 전위강하법을 이용한 접지저항 측정시 전위보조전극의 위치 및 각도의 영향에 대하여 기술하였으며, 측정시 오차를 최소화하는 기법을 제안하였다. 전위강하법은 이론적으로 전위와 전류의 측정원리에 근간을 두고 있으며 측정오차는 주로 보조전극의 위치와 각도에 기인한다. 전위보조전각의 위치에 의한 접지저항 측정값의 상대오차를 분석하기 위해 전류보조전극의 거리를 50[m]로 고정시키고 전위보조전극의 거리를 10[m]에서 50[m]까지 변화시키며 접지저항을 측정하였고 또한 전위보조전극과 전류보조전극 사이의 각도를 30[$^{\circ}$], 45[$^{\circ}$], 60[$^{\circ}$], 90[$^{\circ}$], 180[$^{\circ}$]로 변화시키며 측정하였다. 결과적으로 전위보조전극의 거리 증가 및 전류보조전극과 전위보조전극 사이의 각도가 감소할수록 상대오차가 작게 나타났다. 본 실험결과는 접지시스템의 접지저항을 측정할 때 전위보조전극의 위치를 결정하는데 활용될 수 있다.
