Research on Assessment of Potential Interference between Individual Grounding Electrodes Using an Electrolytic Tank Modeling Method

This paper deals with the assessment of potential interference between individual grounding electrodes using an Electrolytic Tank Modeling method, When a test current was passed through a grounding electrode, potential rise was treasured and analyzed using an electrolytic tank in real time. In order to analyze the potential interference between grounding electrodes, a reduced scale modeling method was studied. Potential interference between isolated grounding electrodes was evaluated as a function of the separation distance between grounding electrodes and the configuration of grounding electrode to be induced. It was found that the separation distance between grounding electrodes was a major factor in reducing the potential interference.
