This paper presents the results of a investigation, a development of the measuring system for grounding properties in live-line. The importance of the grounding system and it's property has been increased with the development, enlarge in capacity, of electrical industry. Moreover, with the rapid growth of communication and precision industry, now, we should consider the grounding properties to ensure the stable and/or safe operation. But the conventional measuring system is not proper to measure the grounding properties of the system, voltage applied. So, in this investigation, we proposed a new method for live-line measurement and develope the system. And through the field test we could confirm the superior performance of th developed system.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the grounding point measurement method for the maintenance of the earth resistance of the distribution line. This study defines the correlation among humidity of the soil, the earth resistivity and the grounding resistance. Based on the results of the study, the grounding resistance value measurement should be limited to the location where the earth resistivity change is large, and the measurement time and cost can be greatly reduced.

In Korea, characterized in most cases by limited area or high earth resistivity, it is likely to design narrow distances between grounding conductors, with a view to keeping ground resistance and touch voltage below the safety margin values. A new grounding method is suggested, making use of double meshes, to lower touch voltage in a confined area, since it is difficult to lay the plugs under the ground with narrow gaps between them on a limited site. For the presentation of a new model, the suggested grounding system has been analyzed and studied in ground resistance, touch voltage and step voltage, using IEEE Std. 80 calculations and computer simulations.

In order to analyze the dynamic characteristics of ground impedance in large grounding system for lightning and surge protections, a novel method for measuring the ground impedance as a function of frequency was proposed. The experiments were carried out in the grounding system composed of ground rods and mesh grids. The test current was injected by the variable frequency inverter whose frequency is linearly controlled in the range of $5{\sim}500$kHz. The ground impedance and frequency response of the grounding system were mainly caused by the inductive current flowing through grounding conductors over the frequency of 2002. In the combined grounding system of rods and mesh grids, inductive component of ground impedance was significantly decreased. It was fumed out that the grounding system is effective for the surge protection.

Especially, the case which the facilities have been shielded in the building. In this case there must be suitable grounding system, and this case must be considered sufficiently to the one part of the design at the design. in addition there must be an electric leakage defense system and The case to be a criterion signal ground system. Rod type grounding electrodes is applied much and we studied the relation that rod type grounding method and shielding room as newly grounding object. in this paper, shield room is the object(target) to be established newly additionally, we try to describe about the flow of a grounding technology concept change and a ground facilities.

The grounding system of the subsurface should ensure the safe and reliable operation of power systems, and guarantee a human being's safety in the situation of grounding fault in the power system. The safety of power apparatus in the subsurface can be reached by decreasing grounding resistance and grounding potential rise of subsurface. This paper presents a method based on the design of an artificial neural network(ANN) model for modeling and predicting the relationship between the grounding resistance and temperature-humidity in the subsurface.

The grounding system is necessary to provide means to dissipate electric currents into the earth without exceeding any operating and equipment limits. The ground is composed of various soils and the resistivity of the soil depends on many parameters. It depends on the type of soil and varies with distance as well as with depth. Especially, soil resistivity of volcanic area such as Jeju is ve교 high and it is difficult to acquire necessary grounding resistivity. This paper introduces the efficient grounding construction using coring technique for proper grounding resistance in high resistivity area. Because it is difficult to measure the accurate resistivity of soils, their resistivities are estimated using measured value of ground resistance and equivalent radius method. Estimated resistivities are used for grounding resistance in scheduled construction region.

This paper describes the impulse response characteristics of the grounding systems in power utility system. Several regulations regarding to electric power equipments, services and managements require that the groundings of class 1 ($E_1$) and class 2 ($E_2$) must be connected at the common point in grounding systems. In addition, the grounding for arrester ($E_{LA}$), which belongs to the grounding of class 1, should be connected at the same point. However, there is no method and position of common-connection at anywhere. In this work, when the impulse current was injected through the grounding conductor for arrester, the investigations measuring and analyzing potential rises induced at the common connection point and other grounding conductors were conducted. The experiments were carried out in the conditions of the grounding conductor of 25m long and the near or remote common connection from ground electrode. The lightning impulse current was applied so as to simulate the on-set of arrester due to lightning and/or switching surges.

In order to design effectively the grounding system, it is very important to determine the optimum soil resistivity at the desired location of the connection to earth. This paper deals with the reasonable methods of measuring the soil resistivity where grounding electrodes are buried. The soil resistivity at three test sites with different resistivity of soil were measured as functions of the spacing between the test probes in the Wenner's four-point method and the length of test ground rod in the three-point method. In the case of the three-point method, the length of test ground rod of 2-10[m] in length was appropriate in two-layered soil structure. In the length range of 2-10[m], the results measured by the three-point method using the test ground rod with the length corresponding to the spacing between the test probes of the Wenner's four-point method are in good agreement with the data obtained from the Wenner's four-point method.

When the lightning current is injected to the ground system of information and communication facilities, analysis of the transient potential rise in the ground system is one of main factors to effectively design the ground system. The performance of grounding systems is normally estimated with the grounding impedance and the transient potential rise which represents the electrical characteristics of the grounding system. The method for calculating the grounding impedance depending on the injection point of the lightning current was proposed. The delta-gap source model was proposed to calculate the grounding impedance in the case that the lightning current is injected to the center of the horizontal ground electrode. A new program which is possible to apply the frequency-dependent soil parameters using the Debye model was developed, because a commercial program for analyzing the performance of the grounding system can not apply to the frequency-dependent soil parameters. The experiment was carried out to confirm the availability of the simulation results with the same condition. Finally, the transient potential rises of a horizontal ground electrode depending on the lightning current waveforms were analyzed by using the results of the grounding impedance which is associated with the frequency-dependent soil parameters.
