An investigation to improve performance of grounding system

An ideal grounding system is very important to dissipate short circuit current and to protect people from shock. Engineers often face difficulty when designing a satisfactory grounding system for building especially located at high soil resistivity. To improve the performance of grounding system, ba...

Electronics Nuclear engineering An ideal grounding system is very important to dissipate short circuit current and to protect people from shock. Engineers often face difficulty when designing a satisfactory grounding system for building especially located at high soil resistivity. To improve the performance of grounding system, backfilled with low soil resistivity must be added in the grounding system.
