A grounding electrode has the transient grounding impedance characteristics against lightning surges. So the performance of grounding electrodes should be evaluated as a grounding impedance as well as the ground resistance. The frequency-dependent grounding impedance is varied with the shape and size of grounding electrode and is divided into both inductive and capacitive behaviors. This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the grounding impedance determined by the size of grounding electrode using the distributed parameter circuit model. EMTP and Matlab programs were used in calculating the frequency-dependent grounding impedances of vertical grounding electrodes. It was found that the frequency-dependent grounding characteristics of vertical grounding electrodes are characterized by the distributed parameters which are changed in the dimension of grounding electrodes.

The impedance of a vertical grounding electrode is not lowered by expanding the dimension of the grounding electrode, and the length of thr vertical grounding electrode which shows the minimum value of the grounding impedance for each condition of frequency and soil characteristics is existent, and it is defined as Critical length. In this paper, the critical lengths for the vertical grounding electrodes are calculated by using the distributed parameter circuit model. The adequacy of the simulations has been confirmed by comparing the simulated results with the measured results.

The basic purpose of grounding is for human safety and normal operation of system related to electrical shock hazard by faults of electrical equipments. A grounding electrode is defined as a conducting element that connects electrical systems and/or equipment to the earth. The lowest possible resistance connection to the earth is sought from the grounding electrode. The grounding electrode is the foundation of the electrical safety system. The resistance to ground of vertical electrodes buried in the two deference soil structures has been analyzed for a length of electrodes and soil parameters. The equation of ground resistance of vertical electrodes are Tagg's equation for uniform soil models, and modified equation of Dwight equation for two-layer soil model. In this paper, compared with results of two equations are calculated values of vertical electrode in uniform and two-layer soil models.

넓은 범위의 주파수 스펙트럼을 포함하고 있는 낙뢰나 전력변환 기기들을 고려할 때 접지시스템의 성능은 접지임피던스에 의해 평가되어야 한다. 본 논문은 실규모의 수직 접지전극과 매설지선에 대한 접지임피던스의 주파수 의존성에 대한 측정결과를 나타낸다. 수직 접지전극과 매설지선의 접지임피던스는 접지전극의 길이와 토양의 대지저항률에 따라 용량성 또는 유도성 특성을 나타내었으며, 단순히 접지저항을 낮추기 위해 접지전극의 길이를 증가시키는 것은 비효율적이며 접지임피던스를 고려한 접지설계가 요구된다. 또한 매설지선의 접지임피던스를 저감시키기 위해 접지도선은 매설지선의 중앙에 접속되어야 하며, 봉상 접지전극을 매설지선과 병렬로 설치하는 것이 접지임피던스의 저감에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

접지임피던스는 접지전극의 크기를 증가시켜도 낮아지지 않고, 토양의 특성과 주파수 조건에 따라 접지 임피던스가 최소값을 보이는 접지전극의 길이가 존재하며, 이 접지전극의 길이를 각 토양 특성과 주파수에 따른 임계길이라 한다. 본 논문에서는 대지구조의 조건을 고려하는 새로운 분포정수회로모델을 제안하였으며, 새로이 제안된 해석모델을 적용하여 MATLAB프로그램으로 수직접지전극의 임계길이와 접지임피던스를 해석하였다. 그 결과, 수직접지전극의 임계길이와 접지임피던스의 주파수의존성에 대한 대지구조의 영향이 크며, 접지시스템의 최적 설계를 위해서는 대지구조를 고려하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This paper Presents the Potential gradient characteristics of structure grounding electrode when a test current flows through grounding electrode. In order to analyze the potential gradient of ground surface on structure grounding electrode, the reduced scale model has been used. The potential gradient has been measured and analyzed for types of structure using the hemispherical grounding simulation system in real time. The structures were designed through reducing real buildings and fabricated with four types on a scale of one-one hundred sixty. The supporter was made to put up with weight of structure and could move into vertical, horizontal, rotary direction. When a test current flowed through structure grounding electrodes, ground potential rise was the lowest value at electric cage type(type B). According to resistivity and absorption percentage In concrete attached to structure, the potential distribution of ground surface appeared differently.

When the ground current is injected into the adjacent ground electrode, the potential interference is caused between ground electrodes, the ground potential interferences have been largely studied with power frequency fault currents. Many attempts to find the frequency-dependent grounding impedance report that the high frequency grounding impedance is very different with the ground resistance. This paper presents experimental data on the frequency-dependent potential interference effects in the vicinity of ground rod. The ground potential rises around the test ground rod of 4 or 6[m] were measured and discussed. As a result, the ground potential rises and potential interference factor are decreased with decreasing the grounding impedance. It was found that the lowering of grounding impedance is critical to reduce the ground potential interference effects.

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.

To obtain a low ground resistance in high resistivity soil, long vertical ground rods are often used. However, if the lightning current or fault current with high frequency flow into the grounding system, the ground impedance is significantly increased because of the inductive behavior. This paper presents how the impulse current works on the long vertical ground electrodes. The different shape of current was impressed between ground rods and auxiliary electrode by using impulse generator and the ground impedance was calculated from the ground potential rise.
