Abstract :
An experimental modelling technique of a grounding electrode in non-homogenous soil is presented, and the experimental results obtained are compared with theoretical figures computed from known analytical methods.(1,2) This technique is suitable for dc or ac testing of a grounding electrode. A description of the physical model is given, and the choice of the model parameters discussed.
