FREQUENCY DEPENDENT CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUNDING SYSTEM BURIED IN MULTILAYERED EARTH MODEL BASED ON QUASI-STATIC ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FIELD THEORY.

The frequency dependent characteristics of grounding system buried in half homogenous earth model have been discussed before; however, the importance of mutual inductive and capacitive effects on the grounding problems in both frequency and time domains is unclear. In order to study the importance of the mutual inductive, capacitative and conductive effects on the grounding problem in both frequency and time domains, hybrid method, which is a hybrid of Galerkin's method of moment and conventional nodal analysis method, has been used to study the dominant factor among the mutual inductive, capacitive and conductive effects in the paper.
