Grounding for surge-protective devices ground resistance versus ground impedance

2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2006
The aim of this paper is to address the often loosely used terms of impedance and resistance as related to grounding, and to educate the reader as to the significant difference between these two terms when contemplating the behavior of grounding systems impressed with transient impulse currents.

Resistance of grounding systems

Electrical Engineering, 1955
ANALYTICAL expressions for the resistance to infinite ground are found in the technical literature for simple shapes of ground electrodes and wires.1 The present digest aims to establish generally applicable relations for the resistance of more complex configurations such as grids and rodbeds.

Equipotentiality and grounding Derivation of grounding resistance for equipment

2014 IEEE Symposium on Product Compliance Engineering (ISPCE), 2014
Equipotentiality is one means of preventing electric shock. Grounding is a specific kind of equipotentiality. For most power distribution systems, the resistance of the grounding circuit in an electrical product is critical to establishing equipotentiality. This paper explains equipotentiality and how it provides protection against electric shock. This

Analysis and comparison of resonance grounding with low resistance grounding

2010 5th International Conference on Critical Infrastructure (CRIS), 2010
The scale of medium voltage networks have been expanding and cables are increasingly used so that nowadays capacitance currents are much greater than before when single line-to-ground faults happen. And the harm of an arcing ground overvoltage is extremely severe in an ungrounded system. To solve the problem put forward, the neutral of a medium voltage

A Practical Approach for Determining the Ground Resistance of Grounding Grids

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2006
This paper starts from the premise that ground resistance is independent of earth-fault current and presents a new method for calculating the ground resistance of grounding grids using the finite-element method. The results obtained using the method proposed are compared with results measured experimentally and results published by other authors.

The measurement of impulse grounding resistance and inductance of grounding network

Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat. No.98EX137), 2002
It is well known that accurate measurement of grounding resistance and inductance under impulse voltage is of great importance for safe operation of electrical and electronic equipment. It is the behavior of grounding objects under impulse voltage instead under DC voltage that determine the safe operation of equipment.

Notes on Resistance of Gas-Pipe Grounds

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1907
Earth connections in electric circuits are frequently made by driving a gas pipe into the ground. Such grounds are of fairly high resistance, and therefore not permissible where a low resistance ground is required. Their great simplicity and cheapness makes them desirable, where very low ground resistance is not necessary, as for discharging static ...

A new method to decrease ground resistances of substation grounding systems in high resistivity regions

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1999
Decreasing the ground resistance of a grounding system in high resistivity soil is often a formidable task. A new method is proposed to decrease ground resistances. This method requires three steps: (1) drilling deep holes in the ground; (2) developing cracks in the soil by means of explosions in the holes; and (3) filling the holes with low ...

The Reality of High-Resistance Grounding

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1977
In recognition of the successful applications of high-resistance grounding of industrial power systems primarily in the continuous process industries, an attempt is made to identify the broad application areas as well as to offer qualifications regarding the application of the high-resistance grounding concept.
