Earthing systems
I am Ram , Ph.D. Student
Dear sir/madam, I am trying to find out the correlation between the time delays in conduction mechanism and the degree of earth resistance. I am using PSPICE simulation package for the simulation work , any suggestions to give help welcome Research Title: INVESTIGATION OF THE TRANSIENT BEHAVIOUR OF EARTHING SYSTEMS SUBJECTED TO HIGH IMPULSE CURRENTS One of the research objectives is to observe the correlation between the time delays in conduction mechanism and the degree of earth resistance for different soil resistivity, impulse polarity and earth electrode configuration Time delays can be defined as the time taken to reach the current peak. Generally, the time delay can also be influenced by non-uniform water settling process, drying and heating in soil and of course due to the statistical nature of air breakdown. However, these influences are neglected in determining the correlation between the time delays and earth resistance reduction. In the previous studies, the time delays in soil due to ionisation and heating have been plotted against current/voltage magnitudes. It was found that the time delays were decreasing with higher currents/voltages. However, the tune delays were also taught to be due to a statistical nature of air breakdown. If you have any question welcome I am looking forward to hear from you soon Thanks in advance Ram |

Time-related transients in systems of conductors are more accurately
analysed by considering the conductors to be transmission lines. Propagation velocity and characteristic impedance are essential features to be approximated. Reflections are also important factors. Applies equally to lightning conductors. Now carry on with your thesis. ---- Reg Edwards. |

Now carry on with your thesis. ---- Reg Edwards. Reg, I think he might be referring to the transfer-times from a conductor to different components of soil. Not the transmission line theory inside a conductor. The reaction speed of ground systems are under a lot of study to help determine the best control of ground potential rise (GPR) where isolation by fiber optic or HV isolation transformers alone is insufficient protection. Water/wet soil along the soil surface during a strike attachment makes it hard to control GPR when it connects multiple earthing points almost instantaneously. The dry-ground sections of each earthing rod end up making less contribution to the designed voltage division, and increased current from grounding systems up into the interior of buildings is one result. It's an interesting problem creates and conflicts between design approaches for lightning protection. What works for direct attachment will not work for the near-field, in other words.

Earthing systems
Time delays seems to infer the involvement of some capacitance into the mix
between 2 points of earth ground. the time delays infer a breakdown in insulation when the voltage builds sufficiently up to the insulation breakdown point. So find the breakdown voltage of the insulation and the capacitance and the applied voltage and the resistance, and you may be able to predict a time delay. - I may be wrong - but that's my 2-cents Hal wrote in message om...
