In the building, there are a lot of electricity, electrodes, and communication equipment. Many of those equipment needs to earthing. Naturally, the earth electrodes are constructed in the site of a building. In such a situation, when electric current flows into a certain earthing system the potential of other earthing systems rises. That is, the potential interference will take place between the earth electrodes. The conventional study has been considered by only the relation of the distance between the earth electrodes using the potential distribution formula of earth surface. However, it is necessary to inquire strictly, taking the surface potential of electrodes by electrode form into consideration. In this paper, basic formula is deduced on the basis of both electrodes surface potential of earth electrode as a source of the potential interference and earth electrode which receives the potential interference.

This paper presents electric potential rise on the surface of the earth due to ground currents. It is the aim of this paper to propose fundamental data relevant to the earth surface potentials depending on the soil structures. The earth potential rise, touch and step voltages in the immediate vicinity of the ground rod of a distribution pole were measured and analyzed. The results described in this paper are based on laboratory measurements which were intended to simulate conditions existing in actual installations. As a result, the earth surface potential rise, touch and step voltages strongly depend on the soil structure. The highest earth surface potential occurred in the vicinity of the top of ground rod. When the ground rod was installed in the distance range of $1{\sim}1.5\;m$ from distribution pole, the highest touch voltages appeared near the place of 1 m on the straight line connecting the distribution pole to ground rod.

Recently, there are many electricity, electronics, and communication equipment which need to earthing in the building. When electric current flows into a certain earthing system in the same building, the potential of other earthing system rises. This potential interference repuire surface potential of electrodes by electrode shape. In this paper basic formula is deduced on the basis of both electrodes surface potential of earth electrode as a source of the potential interference and earth electrode which receive the potential interference. The degree of potential interference as multiple earth electrode is verified the simulated results by means of the simple model in advance.

This paper presents the comparison of the earth resistivity obtained from the measurements made with the three-electrode and four-electrode fall-of-potential techniques. The ${\rho}-a$ curve obtained from Wenner four-electrode method in undisturbed earth is in good agreement with the ${\rho}-l$ curve obtained from the three-electrode method based on the fall-of- potential method. However, The ${\rho}-a$ curve in disturbed earth with moisture and freezing is significantly different with the ${\rho}-l$ curve. The ${\rho}-a$ curve is considerably sensitive to the freezing and the moisture present in the earth surface compared to the ${\rho}-l$ curve. Thus to determine the actual earth resistivity, it is necessary to take into account the earth surface conditions when measuring the earth resistivity.

This paper presents a experimental evidence of the generation of the earth potential and communication line noise from the electric railway. There is a critical measurement err in case of measuring the electrical power induced noise voltage and degree of cable balance in the field of earth potential generated. As a results, it has been found that the conventional cable has more noise immunity than shielded cable near the railway where the earth current flows through the sheath layer.

The precise detection of electric leakage point of underground power cable is very important to reduce cost and time of maintenance and prevent electric shock accident through expedite repair of electric leakage point. This paper proposes a electric leakage point detection system underground power cable using of half-period modulated transmission waveform and earth electric potential measurement. The developed system is composed of transmitter to generate the wanted pulse waveform, receiver to measure and display earth electric potential by the transmitted pulse in electric leakage point and PC Software program to display of GPS coordinate on detection cable line. The performance of the electric leakage point detection system was tested in the constructed underground cable leakage detection test bed. The test results on signal generation voltage precision of signal transmitter, mean detection earth voltage, mean detection leakage current and electric leakage point detection error showed the developed system can be used in electric leakage point detection underground power cable.

The secondary aerosol forming potential of ambient air was first measured with the Potential Aerosol Mass(PAM) chamber at Gosan supersite on Jeju island from October 22 to November 5, 2010. PAM chamber is a small flowthrough photo-oxidation chamber with extremely high OH and $O_3$ levels. The OH exposure in the PAM chamber was $(2{\pm}0.4){\times}10^{11}{\sim}(6{\pm}1.2){\times}10^{11}$ molecules $cm^{-3}$ s and was similar to 2 to 5 days of aging in the atmosphere. By periodically turning on and off UV lamps in the PAM chamber, ambient aerosol and newly formed aerosol (e.g. called as PAM aerosol) was alternately measured. Aerosol number and mass concentration in the range of 10~487 nm in diameter was measured by SMPS 3034. With UV lamps on, the nucleation mode particles smaller than 50 nm in diameters were formed. Their number concentration was greater than 105 $cm^{-3}$, leading to increase in aerosol mass by 0~8 ${\mu}gm^{-3}$. The variations of PAM and ambient aerosols were greatly dependent on characteristics of air masses such as precursor concentrations and degree of aging. This preliminary results suggests that PAM chamber is useful to assess the aerosol formation potential of air mass and its impact on the air quality. The further analysis of data with gaseous and particulate measurements will be done.
