Abstract
Corrosion due to electrochemical reactions and methods for dealing with it are discussed. To estimate the rates of substation ground grid and guy anchor corrosion, four tests are suggested, namely: (1) earth resistivity (2) guy current, (3) grid-to-earth potential; and (4) polarizing current. An analysis of test results will give the degree of corrosion and the form of correction necessary
