IEC standards do not require to limit the earthing resistance of the concrete-embedded foundation earthing electrode which is installed to a specific value. However, in Korea the value of $5{\Omega}$ and below applies to the earthing resistance for a domestic customer whose receiving voltage is 22.9kV. This paper calculates the minimum area and volume of the concrete-embedded foundation earthing electrode in order to obtain a specific value of the earthing resistance when the electrode of the building's lightning protection system and that of its power system are interconnected. It also suggested the most appropriate method of installing the foundation earthing electrode, taking the electric characteristics of concrete into account.

This paper describes the comparison and analysis about measurement method of earthing resistance by positions of potential pole and current pole. In KOREA, a diagonal by 6.5 times of earthing electrode for measurement of earthing resistances but this method was almost impossible in the downtown area. For solving this problem, in this paper measuring of earthing resistance changing parameters. The parameter was a distances of earthing electrode, potential pole & current pole and the another parameter was an angles of potential pole & current pole. Analysis result, earthing resistance stability that conditions. Fist, distance from earthing electrode to current pole was over 50[m] and distance from earthing electrode to potential pole was over 30[m]. Second, angles of potential pole & current pole was over $45[^{\circ}]$.

In recent years the developments of the society in information technology so the building is required protective earthing to prevent electric shock and the building is also required functional earthing to guarantee safe operation of dispatch instrument of information. This paper is reviewed about an estimation of earthing resistance that is considered the shape and size of the plate electrode in order to do practical use as earthing electrode of foundation the plate electrode in the foundation of building.

The electrical characteristics of concrete block including a reinforcing rod in the foundation of the housing was fundamentally reviewed. It was tried to apply the substitutional earthing electrode in the foundation of the building. In order to identify the difference in the earthing resistance between mortar block and concrete block model, those models including a reinforcing rod in their inside were prepared and investigated for the earthing resistance. In results, the earthing resistance was largely affected by the block's resistivity compared to the change of resistance in reinforcing rods and the ground resistivity.

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.

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.

The full of potential method is generally used for measuring the earthing-resistance. This method needs two auxiliary electrodes and it is required that two auxiliary electrodes are placed at enough distances from the earthing electrode, e.g. building foundation. However, in urban area there is not enough space for taking measurement. So, it is very difficult to measure the earth resistance precisely. However, there is the 4- potential method when it stand on the theory of the full of potential method. It is the purpose of this paper to basic study on correction method of measured earthing resistance by 4-potential method.

This paper deals with the improvement of electrode installation for measurement of ground resistance through investigation on the spot in buildings. The investigation was carried out for an earthing terminal board for measurement of ground resistance, installation of auxiliary electrode, etc. The criteria value is set up by measuring method of ground resistance in international standard. In case of inadequate installation of auxiliary electrode, a relative error is analyzed and adequate installation method of auxiliary electrode is proposed. As a consequence, it is necessary to write direction of ground and equipment, and separate auxiliary electrode for measurement of ground resistance in order to minimize measuring error.

The accurate measurement of soil resistivity and earthing system resistance is fundamental to electrical safety. However, geological and meterological factors can have a considerable effect on the accuracy of conventional measurements and the validity of the measurement methods. This paper presents optimization method of dc resistivity data acquisition system using multi-electrode arrays.
