Abstract

Grounding is one way to assure the safety of the hazards and the damage caused by the incurring currents. A grounding system, according to the General Electrical Installation Requirements 2000: 11, is a connecting point of an electrical circuit or a carrier not part of an electrical circuit with an earthing earth. If there is any isolation damage to a tensioned electrical installation, the danger of touch tension can be avoided as the current continues to flow into the ground through the earthing or grounding system. This aims to analyze or know the value of soil type resistance, which later can be analyzed and used as a reference for planning an earthing. In addition, this discussion aims to determine the effectiveness of earthing system improvements using additives substance. To perform the data collection, it is done by direct measurement method in the field by using earth tester and other supporting tools, and recording the result of measurement using earth tester.
