Abstract

Ground systems set the reference voltage level of circuit and system, and suppress Ground Potential Rise (GPR) by flowing fault currents to ground safely. There are several parameters which evaluate the performance of ground systems as ground resistance, touch voltage and step voltage. The touch and step voltages are especially important to ensure safety of human body. In this paper, we measured the touch and step voltages by injection of power frequency and surge current. Also correlation between touch and step voltages is compared and analyzed for the same ground systems.
