Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Knowledge of the impulse characteristics of grounding devices is important for the lightning protection of power system. In this paper, the transient model in time domain of grounding grid is established by the electrical network theory. Then, the (3~5)-order differential algorithm is applied to solve electrical network model. To consider the soil ionization phenomenon, the soil discharge equivalent model is established and solved by iterative solution algorithm. Finally, the full-scale experiments of typical grounding devices are carried out to verify the accuracy of the proposed method.
