Ensuring the reliability of energy systems with the application of a new method of decreasing seasonal variations of ground resistance

The possibility of improving the reliability of the grounding system is shown. The analysis of dependence of soil resistivity on humidity was carried out, on the basis of which a composition for normalization (reduction of seasonality) of soil electrical resistivity was proposed. A number of full-scale experiments were carried out to measure the resistance values of the grounding devices of experimental circuits, after backfilling the places of laying the contour elements with various compositions and introducing other types of soils and minerals
