Abstract
A detailed study of a power plant grounding system which is connected to an extensive underground pipe network in an urban area has been carried out. Soil resistivity measurement and interpretation, fault current distribution determination and grounding network performance analysis have been presented. The effect of the pipe network on the performance of the grounding system is also examined. The analysis procedure described in this paper can be applied to most urban grounding network studies
