Abstract:The number of underdetermined equation, which is limited by the grounding down lines, reduces the grounding grid corrosion diagnostic precision. Based on the grounding grid fault diagnosis method and sensitivity analysis, the value of slip resistance change on the impact of the port resistance in several cases, such as small span, large span and edge, center and symmetrical crossline of the grounding grid, is analyzed. A new method which is used to select the node pairs to calculate the corrosion situation of grounding grid is presented. Based on this method, the simulation analysis and field test has been done. The experimental results show that this method could improve the accuracy and efficiency of grounding grid fault diagnosis.
