Abstract :
The parallel continuous type of counterpoise wire is the best ground system currently, it is reduce the ground resistance less than 25 ¿ in high resistivity of soil arriving 4450 ¿m with 400 m length. The created ground system types of proposed chem-counterpoise can be used in both homogenous and inhomogeneous soil that have soil resistivity arriving 10000 ¿m. The proposed chem-counterpoise devices will be used to reduce the risk of BFO rate, repeated outage and economic losses.
