This paper presents a comparison on the resistance and characteristics of transient response of grounding systems under surge currents using frequency domain electromagnetic field analysis software package and field test. Analysis is done by computer model, based on electromagnetic field theory approach, that accurately takes into account frequency dependent characteristics of the system. The transient performance of three grounding systems is analyzed by comparison of frequency dependent impedance and the maximal transient GPR. A double exponential lighting surge current is injected at one corner of the grounding systems. The transient GPRs a rod grounding systems are higher than mesh or electrolytic grounding systems. Af field test, the results of resistance measurement and time-variant of ground resistance slightly reduce electorlytic grounding systems less than rod and mesh grounding systems.

This paper presents the transient behaviors of grounding system impedance against lighting impulse currents. The dynamic characteristics of the deeply driven ground rod and grounding grid subjected to the impulse current with various rise time were investigated. It was found that the transient ground impedance strongly depends on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes and the shapes of impulse currents, and the inductance of grounding electrodes has a significant affect on the transient ground impedance of grounding system in the short time domain.

The grounding system design of the communication base station can be on the unfavorable conditions to induce the safe designing because of the limited area of the communication base station and the week point of surge caused by the given geographical condition such as the top point of mountain. In this paper, it is examined throughly about the way of safe designing that can reduce GPR(Ground Potential Rise) within the normal frequency band. And it is also considered the effective counter plan to cope with a transient phenomena that happen when surge of scores MHz-band inserted.

Transient GPR characteristics of two different grounding systems were measured in this paper. The scale model method was used to analyze the effectiveness of bonding two grounding grids systems. Also the measured results were verified by comparing with Pspice analysis results.

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.
