Since transmission and distribution neutral wires are connected with a substation grounding grid, it is very difficult to measure grounding resistance of isolated substation grounding grid after the substation is energized. It is impractical to isolate the grounding grid from other parallel connections such as distribution line neutrals and overhead ground wires for grounding resistance measurement only. In this paper, we proposed and demonstrated a novel measurement method of grounding resistance of isolated substation grounding grid. For this method, grounding current division factor and conventional FOP(Fall-Of-Potential) profiles were measured at power supplying 154[kV] substation. The obtained FOP profile was processed with the measured grounding current division factor to produce the grounding resistance of isolated grounding grid. Simulated FOP profile agreed well with the measured one showing the validity of the proposed method.

This paper shows the accuracy of 61.8% rule which is based on the fall-of-potential method in field measurement of earth resistances, and proposes the measurement method which is applicable to the industries. This paper also finds the minimum distance to obtain the horizontal position in the earth resistance curves, and Proposes the standard form for measurement of earth resistance using the fall-of-Potential method.

Measuring ground resistance has been a popular method of evaluation of the grounding electrode performance. If some portions of grounding electrodes are lost by corrosion, aging or other reasons, consequent deteriotation of the grounding performance would be resulted. It is one of the reasons why it is required to evaluate the performance of grounding systems regularly. However, in case of the electric facilities with multi-grounded system such as power substations with multi-grounded overhead ground wires and/or distribution line neutrals, it is practically difficult to disconnect neutrals or skywires from the substation grounding mesh for the ground resistance measurement. In this paper, a method for the grounding performance measurement of multi-grounded systems, which is based on the measuring ground current distributions, has been proposed. A field test results has shown the validity of the proposed test method.

For accuracy of an experiment, measure changing of grounding resistance by short period after construction and investigated the efficiency of grounding's different methode of parallel connection. We could confirm on measurement's accuracy, error through comparing the theoretical value and measured value. Therefore, reduction ratio can be expected from execution measurement to receive a target resistance value. By the result, we could evaluate the method of rod grounding electrode's proper execution

The purpose of research is to measure power and dynamic resistance value through RMS module. Specially designed RMS-DC hardware module was tested. Its output which is obtained every half cycle was compared with that of commercial weld checker. The results show good agreement and the relative error in the measurement was found to be around 5%.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a new measuring method of ground resistance for the grounding system in energized power equipment and substations. It is very difficult to measure the accurate ground resistance in energized power equipment and substations because of the noise conducted from all external connections to the grounding system and harmonics components caused by unbalanced loads and overloads. The ground resistance that is measured with existing methods includes not only the effect of desired signals but also noise components for the measurement period in grounding system. The measured value of ground resistance can entirely be different from actual value. In this paper, to eliminate 60[Hz] power system interference and harmonic components the low-pass filter method was used in the measurement of ground resistance.

This paper proposes a novel test circuit for SiC transistors. On-state resistance under practical application conditions is an important characteristic for the device reliability and conduction efficiency of SiC transistors. In order to measure the on-state resistance in practical applications, high voltage is needed, and high current is also necessary to ignite performance for the devices. A soft-switching circuit based on synchronous buck topology is developed in this paper. To provide high-voltage and high-current stresses for the devices without additional spikes and oscillations, a resonant circuit has been introduced. Using the novel circuit technology, soft-switching can be successfully realized for all the switches. Furthermore, in order to achieve accurate measurement of on-state resistance under switching operations, an active clamp circuit is employed. Operation principle and design analysis of the circuit are discussed. The dynamic measurement method is illustrated in detail. Simulation and experiments were carried out to verify the feasibility of the circuit. A special test circuit has been developed and built. Experimental results confirm that the proposed circuit gives a good insight of the devices performance in real applications.

The effects of battery aging limit the rechargeable capacity, State of Health(SoH). It is very important to estimate the SoH in the battery monitoring system(BMS) and many algorithms of measuring the internal resistance of the battery were proposed. A method is used by applying a current source of a specific frequency to the battery and measuring the voltage response. When charging harmonic noise is generated in the voltage response, it results in poor resistance measurement accuracy. In this paper, a robust battery internal resistance measurement algorithm is proposed to eliminate the effect of charging noise by integrating the current source and voltage response signals for a certain period. It showed excellent accuracy and stable measurement results. Applying to the BMS for uninterruptible power supply, the usefulness of the proposed method is verified.
