The article provides a method for determining the state of the grounding devices without having to open the vertical and horizontal electrodes thereof. The developed method requires the determination of the average annual significance of indirect factors, essentially influencing the corrosion state of the ground elements, such as ground humidity and the meaning wandering current.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
