Effects of different chemical compounds on grounding resistance

Sensitive devices produced with the advancement of technology have taken their place in every aspect of our daily life. It has now become imperative to ensure that these devices, which have high costs, are protected from fault currents that may occur and that leakage currents that may occur do not pose a danger to people. In order to protect people and equipment, the fault current is increased as much as possible and the switching elements are operated. The type of grounder, grounding conductor, the specific resistance of the soil are the factors that make up the grounding resistance. If the materials used can not provide the required resistance value, the resistance value is reduced with different chemicals. In this study, the effect of four different materials used to reduce chemical resistance on the grounding resistance values in different weather conditions was investigated.
