접지시스템은 인체의 안전을 확보함과 동시에 기기 및 장치의 확실한 동작과 절연 파괴를 방지하기 위한 가장 중요한 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 접지시스템은 전원설비용, 통신설비용, 피뢰설비용 접지로 크게 분류할 수 있으며 사고 발생 시 대지를 통하여 고장 전류를 신속하게 방전함으로서 기준전위를 유지하는 것을 목적으로 하며, 시스템 성능을 최적화하기 위하여 용도에 따라 서로 다른 목적의 접지라도 각 접지시스템을 본딩시켜 등전위를 형성하는 것이 가장 보편적으로 적용되는 설계 개념이다. 본 연구에서는 축소형 GIS 접지시스템의 계획과 시공에 있어서 좁은 지형조건에서 지반 보강용 철근 콘크리트 파일을 건축물 구조체 접지극으로 활용하여 mesh 접지망과 등전위화 함으로써 접지시스템의 효과를 증대 할 수 있는 방안을 제안하고 효과를 검증하고자 한다.

접지설비는 다른 설비에 비해서 단지 부속설비처럼 안이하게 취급하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 접지설비는 전로의 이상전압을 억제하고 지락시의 고장전류를 안전하게 대지로 흘려 인체의 보호나 화재, 기기의 손상 등의 재해를 방지하는 것뿐만 아니라 제어기기를 안정하게 동작시키는 등의 역할을 위한 필수불가결한 설비이다. 특히 최근 전자기기의 급격한 증가에 따라 안정된 신호계를 확보하기 위한 접지설비가 다양화, 혼재화하고 있다. 접지를 하여야 할 설비에는 전력설비, 정보$\cdot$통신설비(신호, 제어, 유무선통신, 컴퓨터 등), 피뢰설비(피뢰침, 피뢰도선, 가공지선 등)를 비롯하여 정전기 제거설비, 유도장해 방지설비 등 여러 가지 설비가 있다. 접지는 기본적으로 대지에 전기적 단자를 접속하는 것으로 즉, 금속 등의 도전성 물체를 대지와 전기적으로 접속하여 도전성물체의 전위를 대지와 같은 전위 또는 전위차를 최소화시키는 것을 말한다. 금속체와 대지를 접속하는 단자의 역학을 하는 것이 접지전극(Grounding electrode)이라고 하며 보통은 지중에 매설되어 있는 도체가 사용된다. 접지전극과 접지를 하는 설비를 연결하는 도선을 접지도선 또는 접지선(Grounding conductor)이라고 한다. 따라서 접지설비를 설계하기 위해서는 접지의 목적, 기능, 종류를 정확하게 이해하여 접지시스템을 구축함과 동시에 적절한 접지개소, 접지선, 접지극을 선정하고 시공하여야 한다.

Ground impedance for the large grounding system is measured according to the IEEE Standard 81.2 which is based on the revised fall-of-potential method of installing auxiliary electrode at a right angle. When the auxiliary electrodes are located at an angle of $90^{\circ}$, the ground impedance inevitably includes the error due to earth mutual resistance. In this paper, in order to accurately measure the ground impedance of vertically-driven ground electrodes, error rates due to earth mutual resistance are evaluated by ground resistance and ground impedance measuring devices and compared with calculated values. As a result, the measured results are in good agreement with the computed results considering soil layer with different resistivity. The error rates due to earth mutual resistance decrease with increasing the length of ground electrode in the case that the ratio of the distance between the ground rod to be measured and the auxiliary electrodes to the length of ground electrode(D/L) is same. The ground impedance should be measured at the minimum distance between the auxiliary electrodes that will have an estimated measurement accuracy due to earth mutual resistance.

Recently, there has been an increase of the use of ground system for lightning protection called deeply driven grounding electrode. In the case of deeply driven grounding electrode, the rod electrode is equipped perpendicularly and deeply, therefore, it has a benefit to have less restriction of place compared to mesh grid electrode. However, ground impedance is largely changed by the local earth resistivity, so it requires a detailed analysis of the ground structure when planning. The measurement of earth resistivity by existing Wenner's method has been widely used, however, this method can not find out a change in the local ground resistance and it shows the result outwardly to be difficult to estimate exact depth. Therefore, this study analyzed the ground structure as 2-D image using 96 channels measurement facility and tried to analyze change in the local ground resistance and depth of the ground in order to design a deeply driven electrode effectively for lightning protection. It used Wenner alpha method dipole-dipole method and Schlumberger method for 2-D image analysis of the ground resistivity ma based on, it the result was compared with the ground structure analyzed with the result using the CDEGS and Wenner 1-D method.

In this study, an experiment on the efficient construction method of plate electrodes, the influence of electric potential interference in plate electrodes, and building foundations were explored. The experimental result of the electric potential measurement was taken on the basis of the direction of movement and the condition in which the plate electrodes are laid underground in building foundations. It shows that the construction method of laying the plate electrodes vertically exhibits a more efficient reduction of electric potential in a diagonal direction and on an X axis than laying plates horizontally. For plate electrode construction in an area that has uniform conditions, the parallel joint construction method is more effective than a single construction to reduce earth electrical potential and ground resistance. In addition, a straight arrangement performs well in ground efficiency, compared to the parallel arrangement.

In this paper, breakdown characteristics of soil in a coaxial cylindrical electrode system stressed by impulse currents were experimentally investigated. The breakdown voltage and current waveforms for 4 types of soils were measured, and the threshold electric field intensity, the time-lag to breakdown and the voltage-current (V-I) curves were analyzed and discussed. As a result, the breakdown voltage and current waveforms are strongly dependent on the grain size of soil, and the voltage and current waveforms for gravel and sand differ from those for silt and loess. The threshold electric field intensity Ec is increased in the order of gravel, sand, loess and silt. The V-I curves for all test samples show a 'cross-closed loop' of ${\infty}$-shape. Also, the time-lag to breakdown for gravel and sand are longer than those for silt and loess. It is expected that the results presented in this paper will provide useful information on the design of improving transient performance of a grounding electrode system subjected to lightning current considering the soil ionization.

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.
