Resistance Reduction Scheme for Tower Grounding with Conductive Cement

The construction conditions of transmission lines are becoming more and more difficult. It is necessary to find new ways to reduce the grounding resistance of poles and towers at high soil resistivity and small construction area. Conductive cement samples with graphite, stainless steel fibers, and t...

Description
Summary:The construction conditions of transmission lines are becoming more and more difficult. It is necessary to find new ways to reduce the grounding resistance of poles and towers at high soil resistivity and small construction area. Conductive cement samples with graphite, stainless steel fibers, and their mixtures as conductive phases materials were prepared, the resistivity, flexural strength and compressive strength were tested, compared and analyzed. The graphite and stainless steel fiber conductive cement with better comprehensive performance was selected out for tower grounding. The application schemes of conductive cement for tower grounding were designed and compared, the partial wrapping scheme was selected and its application methods under different soil resistivity was analyzed. The analysis results can provide theoretical basis and guidance for the application of conductive cement in transmission tower grounding, the feasibility of scheme is proved by the field application.
