Abstract:Using CDEGS software package of grounding system, combined with engineering examples, four common resistance reduction measures of substation with high soil resistivity, including local soil replacement, deep well grounding, external grounding and grounding module and ion grounding rod, are simulated and calculated. Based on the calculation results, the resistance reduction characteristics of each resistance reduction measure are analyzed, and the engineering application suggestions are put forward. In addition, on the premise of ensuring personal and equipment safety, the paper discusses how to reasonably select the target of resistance reduction to avoid over design.
