Measurement accuracy evaluation of transmission line earthings by impulse tests
PublicationUziemienia słupów linii energetycznych powinny być sprawdzane okresowo. Pomiary rezystancji takich uziemień przy pomocy metody niskoczęstotliwościowej wymaga wyłaczania linii i odkręcania przewodów odprowadzających od konstrukcji słupa. Metoda udarowa jest znacznie łatwiejsza w tej aplikacji i nie wymaga wyłaczania linii na czas pomiarów. W pracy oszacowano wpływ uziemień sąsiednich słupów na dokładność pomiarów metodą udarową.
