@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6614, title = {Soil Resistivity Structure and Its Implication on the Pole Grid Resistance for Transmission Lines}, author = {M. Nassereddine and J. Rizk and G. Nasserddine}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {High Voltage (HV) transmission lines are widely spread around residential places. They take all forms of shapes: concrete, steel, and timber poles. Earth grid always form part of the HV transmission structure, whereat soil resistivity value is one of the main inputs when it comes to determining the earth grid requirements. In this paper, the soil structure and its implication on the electrode resistance of HV transmission poles will be explored. In Addition, this paper will present simulation for various soil structures using IEEE and Australian standards to verify the computation with CDEGS software. Furthermore, the split factor behavior under different soil resistivity structure will be presented using CDEGS simulations.}, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {1}, year = {2013}, pages = {41 - 45}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6614}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/73}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 73, 2013}, }
