A Guideline on Designing a Safe and Appropriate Grounding System: A Review of Selected Papers

Abstract

This study to review scientific articles from some of the international journal, published from 2005 to 2017. This study focused on articles that discuss how reduce grounding resistance. The article is discussed systematically, criticized, and analyzed. To secure the system from the disorder, we need to design a system. This system was later known with the grounding system. The criteria used in the review journal is focused in terms of: how reduce grounding resistance with electrode be planted a single or parallel, giving conductive material/reducing material, including some of the methods used in reduce grounding resistance specific to regions with high soil resistivity, and the obstacles faced. The discussion on the above issue is a major problem in the article. The article that reviewed published in language of United Kingdom from 2005 to 2017. The analysis of reviewing 20 journal produces two staples of the discussion is existing problems in the grounding system and optimal way in reduce grounding resistance. The reduction of resistance on the location of the grounding that have very high soil resistivity needs to be done, some way is offered in several articles that are discussed so that it could be a guideline the planners in designing a grounding system that is safe and appropriate for the system to be secured.
