Abstract

The main purpose to power system earthing is to maintain reliable operation and provide protection for personnel and apparatus fault condition. However in practice, grounding resistance value of system often did not meet the required value.

Earthing will ultimately increase the reliability and efficiency of system. Particularly when the system under transient overvoltage due to switching and lighting phenomena by reducing lethal earthing protection rise.
