Application of Finite Element Method to the Grounding Resistance Measurement with Short Leads
FEM (Finite Element Method)is applied to the study of the method to the measurement of grounding resistance with short leads. ANSYS
the general FEM software
is used. The earth-surface potential distributions with/without the current electrode are calculated with steady electric field analysis module of ANSYS. According to the compensation theory
the position of test potential electrode to measure the grounding resistance is chosen. Based the analysis result
the grounding resistance of a real grounding grid is tested. The test result is very close to the calculated result
which shows the validity of application of FEM to the grounding resistance measurement. In addition
the situation of grounding grid buried in multi-layer soil is studied
which shows the flexibility and practicability of the FEM.
