Abstract
This article presents the results of experimental investigation concerned with the “A”-type grounding system's impulse characteristics, which are utilized for grounding of high-voltage transmission line towers. The investigation results point to the presence of high-frequency components in voltage and current signals that are not caused by tower footing response to the impulse current. Additionally, both surge generator coupling and measuring circuit remain their main source. High-frequency components of signals are extracted from voltage and current signals by means of the discrete wavelet transform. In addition to being external influence results, the extracted components have very low energy content as well as short duration. The discrete wavelet transform analysis application has validated the existence of external influences.
