수분 함유량에 따른 모래의 지중방전 특성 분석

초록

It has been known that the value of soil resistance drops when a high impulse curennt is injected into a grounding electrode. In this paper, impulse generator is used to investigate the dry soil and wet soil characteristics in cylinderical test cell. The impulse resistances and breakdown characteristics were discussed based on its voltage and current traces. As a result, sand resistances are decreased with increasing the applied currents. It was thought that a decrease in resistance of dry sand with increasing current is due to both thermal and ionization processes. On the other hand, in case there is no water presence in the soil, the reduction in resistance as the currents are of dry sand increased is mainly due to the ionization process.
