Abstract
Grounding electrode is an indispensable part in HVDC transmission projects. During its design and safety evaluation, step voltage is a crucial aspect. By reviewing and sorting out the present standards involving step voltage measurement and its safety limit, this paper illustrates the contradiction between the measurement methods and the safety evaluation. Reasons for the contradiction are explained by analyzing the principal of step voltage measurement and safety evaluation. The Open-circuit step voltage measurement method and the measurement method with a human body equivalent resistance paralleled are compared to find out their advantages and disadvantages. Suitable circumstances and corresponding safety criteria of these two methods are put forward. Method proposed in this paper can be applied to step voltage measurement and safety evaluation of HVDC grounding electrode, providing reference when revising the related standards.
