Resistivity and Dielectric Constant Characteristic of Soil If are Treated by Water, Salt and Carbon

The characteristic of resistivity and dielectric constant of soil is the importance thing for investigating the impedance of grounding system. The impedance of grounding systems have resistance, inductance and capacitance components. Resistance and capacitance depend on resistivity and permittivity of soil and the configuration of electrodes of grounding system. The characteristic variation of resistivity and permittivity depend on the environment condition such as water, salt, chemical solution etc. In this experiment the soil is treated by water, salt and carbon with percentage variation from 2,5% until 15% and injected by low frequency of current (f=50 Hz). The calculation of resistivity and permittivity used the equivalent circuit of soil. Influence of characteristic f resistivity and permittivity depend on the type of soil.
