Abstract
Wednesday
Today, the methods for measuring ground impedance
are fall-of-potential method and potentiometer
method which are based on IEEE std.81-2 and JEAC.
The fall-of-potential method of equipments (D, C, M

etc. and so we could define a new measurement
method and test probe distance by comparing IEEE
std.81-2 and JEAC with IEC 60364. Test result and
analysis are shown in this paper.
Introduction
Friday
Usually today, Grounding measurement device is
equipped with constant current supply and grounding
electrode(E), current electrode(C) and potential
electrode(P). So, to measure ground impedance it
supplies constant current of 3~5[mA] through current
electrode. Fall-of-potential method which is aimed at
large scale ground facilities uses high test current for
measuring ground impedance on condition that
potential of electrode(P) keep up more than 10[V]. Fig 2. Electrode for using in the test
