Abstract
Reducing tower ground’s impulse grounding resistance can prevent the power lines from lightning effectively. The concept of impulse grounding resistance is described. Calculation formula of the impulse grounding resistance for ground electrode in different Conformations is derived with impulse coefficient method. The conformation of the ground electrode is improved according to the theory of impulse grounding resistance is decreased when the effective area of the electrode is reduced, using ETAP for simulation of the improved ground electrode. The results show that the impulse grounding resistance of the improved ground electrode can be reduced to 41.1% of the original, and safety margin is larger in practical engineering.
