Abstract

Optimizing the earthing resistance is still a challenge with regard to the damage that continues to occur in electrical installations due to the poor earth network. The research carried out to date does not take into account the diversity of soils often characterized by its intrinsic value of resistivity. The generalization of grounding techniques gives in some places high resistances of the ground circuit. In fact, much remains to be done in terms of optimizing the resistance of the earth circuit. This very exciting problem concerns not only industrial frequency circuits, but also high frequency circuits often meet in telecommunications. In this area, account must be taken of the reactance of the grounded rods, and therefore the impedance, which is often negligible at low frequencies, thus in this paper we present a comparative study of the variation of the earth resistance of the different types of soil depending on the length of the earth stake on the one hand, and on the diameter of the earth hole on the other hand. The interest of this work is to find an approach which would be allowed to realize an earth network having an optimal resistance whatever the type of soil.
