Abstract:Grounding enhancement materials (GEMs) are one of the additive materials which can change the grounding performance without lots of significant costs. The study aimed to assess the performance of laterite and peat soil, copper and galvanized conductors, and determine the effectiveness of additional materials in reducing grounding resistance. Altering soil characteristics can enhance the conductor's contact area, achieving lower grounding resistance without high costs. Hydrogel, silica gel, and charcoal ash wer… Show more
