Abstract
A counterpoise is commonly employed in grounding systems installing near the ground surface of low resistivity soils and radial-type counterpoises are used in the limited space. Recently some studies on the evaluation of ground impedance of paralleling ground electrodes have carried out, but the data for providing the frequency-dependent ground impedances considering potential interferences are not yet sufficient. In order to provide the information about the design of grounding systems for surge protection, the simulations of the frequency-dependent ground impedance of various shaped counterpoises are carried out by using the distributed parameter circuit model including the effect of potential interferences. This paper presents the theoretical simulations and actual experiments of the frequency-dependent ground impedance of paralleling and 3 or 4-arms star counterpoises. The accuracy of the simulation methodology is examined by the comparison with the measured results, and the results show a good agreement between the simulation and the experiment.
