Experimental investigations of earthing systems under steady-state and transient conditions

This study presents the experimental results of earthing systems under steady state and transient conditions. To date, only a limited amount of research has been documented regarding earthing systems under transient conditions. In this work, earthing systems with specific dimensions are constructed....
