Grounding electrodes with higher burial depths are evaluated to have better performance, due to the domestic practice that puts the grounding resistance as the standard of performance evaluation, while grounding resistance decreases as the burial depth increases. However, The dangerous voltage is necessary for the analysis. Because the performance evaluation of grounding electrodes should include not only grounding resistance but also the dangerous voltage(mesh voltage and step voltage). So in this paper, The dangerous voltages of mesh grounding and rod grounding were analyzed for using computer simulation and miniature grounding model.

The substation grounding design,"IEEE Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding (ANSI / IEEE Std 80)"has been widely used. Substation grounding design and substation grounding resistance of grounding network site to predict the voltage at the risk of a very important task, which is a ground fault current due to the influx of the ground network and due to rise in the Earth's potential can be applied to human dangerous Voltage within safe tolerances be configured to be the ground because the network. IEEE Std. 80 for the substation construction safety equipment on the ground securing the ground electrode and the mesh around the boundary potential distribution in terms of risk analysis by the touch voltage and the reference was to clean up the definition and the basic steps of the voltage of the voltage limits the risk of peripheral grounding electrode Suppression by the simulator through a new secure from dangerous voltage design techniques were presented.

When we design the grounding grid, dangerous voltage ANSI/IEEE Std. 80 method has been commonly used in the domestic area. However, the suitability of the ground rules for the design environment available. However, the suitability of the ground rules for the design environment available. In this paper, sticks according to the electrode conductor in combination with the mesh in order to design the ground by the IEEE Std.80 was designed. So in this paper, we examined of IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage method marginal utility and we induced for those problems by comparison between IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage value and simulation experimentation value. Furthermore, this paper presents a new design grounding system method that complements the IEEE Std. 80 method.

In Korea, where most of the sites are narrow in space and their earth resistivity is relatively high, the spaces between grounding conductors are likely to be designed narrow in order to lower ground resistance and dangerous voltage below to the permitted safety values. In addition, ground nets are in the shape of square or rectangle depending on the location and size of the facilities and ground contact area, and inner conductors are laid out in grids like the pattern of nets. Nevertheless, with the existing designs, the marginal voltage for safety gets higher as the area is extended further outside, in comparison with that of inner mesh grounding, thus causing much difficulty maintaining them equipotential, and there exist limits in the burial, grounding grid design considering the dangerous voltage of muti-layered model in the constrained sites, was studied.

The most important object of grounding systems is to protect human being from electric shock. Touch and step voltages are measured to evaluate the performances of grounding systems. Dangerous voltages have been largely studied by the power frequency fault currents, on the other hand, the ground current containing the high frequency components and surge currents haven't been considered. Many attempts about the grounding impedances reported in these days show that the performance of the grounding systems in high frequency range is very different with the ground resistance. It is necessary to analyze the dangerous voltages formed by the ground currents containing high frequency components. In this paper, the ground surface potential rises near the vertical and horizontal grounding electrodes are measured at the frequency of 100[Hz], 30[kHz], and 100[kHz]. Dangerous voltages are investigated with the frequency-dependent grounding impedance. As a result, the ground surface potential rise is increased as the grounding impedance increases. Touch and step voltages near the grounding electrode whose impedance increases with the frequency are sharply raised.

When we design the grounding grid, dangerous voltage IEEE Std. 80 method has been commonly used in the domestic area. However there is not appropriative examination of ground design environment. So in this paper, we examined of IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage method's marginal utility and we induced corrective factor for those problems by comparison between IEEE Std. 80 touch voltage value and simulation experimentation value. Moreover, Logistic model's corrective factor we proved the maximum accidental error has reduced less than 10[%].

In Korea, characterized in most cases by limited area or high earth resistivity, it is likely to design narrow distances between grounding conductors, with a view to keeping ground resistance and touch voltage below the safety margin values. A new grounding method is suggested, making use of double meshes, to lower touch voltage in a confined area, since it is difficult to lay the plugs under the ground with narrow gaps between them on a limited site. For the presentation of a new model, the suggested grounding system has been analyzed and studied in ground resistance, touch voltage and step voltage, using IEEE Std. 80 calculations and computer simulations.

Urban rail transit tends to global grounding system in order to control ground potential rise and potential differences between electric equipments. In addition, global grounding system can discharge the large capacity surge current to the ground safely. Since some railway electric equipments are installed all section of line, the global grounding system connected with the connecting grounding wire is more effectively. However, if the fault occurred in the connecting grounding wire area, some dangerous voltage is generated. So, the installation of additional grounding rod will be required. In this study, the global grounding system is simulated using CDEGS program to analyze the divergence spacing of additional ground rod depending on dangerous electric potential characteristics. Grounding net of the each station is modelled in depending on the size of the platform, and the spacing of the connecting grounding rod are compared 50m, 100m, 250m and 400m. Simulation results considering of earth resistivity and underground condition of the connecting grounding wire, spacing of the connecting grounding rod is that less than 250m to spacing of the ground rod was appropriately confirmed.

It is very difficult and dangerous to measure PD(Partial Discharges) from high voltage equipments in outdoor situation. But that is very important thing for preventing them from more serious accident by defects made by insulating degradation. This paper provides useful method to detect PD signals easily without any dangerous situation. Electric field sensor by the principle of capacitor can detect PD signals without direct connection between sensor and high voltage equipment and has very wide frequency range suitable for noise rejection. Electric field sensor and related circuit for processing PD signal show good performance as a PD sensor when it is applied to simulated high power equipment generating PD pulses.
