접지시스템은 고장전류나 상시 전류를 낮은 저항의 대지로 흘러 보낸다. 접지전극 주변에 접지저감재를 매설하면 접촉 면적을 증가시켜 낮은 접지저항을 얻을 수 있다. 접지전극의 접촉면적을 확대시키면 접지저항값이 낮아진다는 특성을 이용하여 접지 시공시 팽창 특성을 가진 도전성 팽창 접지저감재를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 도전성 팽창 접지저감재가 일반 접지저감재보다 접지저항 저감 효과가 뛰어남을 검증하였다.
The grounding systems provide a low resistance path for fault or normal currents into the earth. The material for reducing ground resistance is buried around the grounding electrode to increase its effective size of the electrode and thus to obtain low ground resistance. Increasing the contacting area with the grounding electrode is effective for lowering the ground resistance in soils. Using this idea the conductive expansion ground resistance reducing material was developed. In this paper experimental data has shown that the ground resistance reduction method using proposed material is superior to using a typically available commercial ground resistance reducing material.
