Abstract

This chapter contains the corrosion theory of grounding electrodes and basic electrochemistry in corrosion reactions. It contains also the forms of substation grounding grid corrosion (uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion, microbial influenced corrosion), survey on corrosion rate of substation grounding grid, copper and steel corrosion rates, corrosion protection methods (coating, cathodic protection [CP]). The chapter contains also the methods of applying cathodic protection in grounding grids, anode selection, anode spacing, and impressed current in the grounding grid cathodic protection. Finally it contains the required information for design grounding system cathodic protection and sacrificial anode (galvanic) cathodic protection system design steps.
