Abstract |
Ground resistance measurement is an elementary technique for the evaluation of grounding system. There are main environmental factors to consider for correct measurement, but the problem is that it is practically most cases to measure ground resistance, unable to know the factors. This paper presents a methodology toward true value of resistance in the unknown circumstances, utilizing the defined term, ‘variation rate’ of potential difference curve appearing in the distance to a current probe as in the three point fall-of-potential method which comprises the characteristics of environmental factors. This methodology is a induced result from the previous demostrated studies. |
