Abstract
Accurate determination of impulse grounding resistance of tower grounding body is the premise to improve the lightning withstand level of transmission line. The current research mostly ignores the nonlinear effect of soil spark discharge. Based on the analysis of the idea and conception of the equivalent model of grounding body considering spark discharge effect, two simulation models based on EMTP are proposed. The two simulation models can well simulate the inductance effect and spark discharge effect when lightning current flows through grounding body, and improve the grounding body model under impulse condition. The comparison results show that the simulation results are in good agreement with the field measurement results.
