Corrosion Mechanism and Corrosion State Detection Method of the Grounding Grid

Corrosion of grounding grids can affect the safe and reliable operation of power systems. In view of the corrosion problem of the grounding grid, this paper introduces the corrosion mechanism, which is chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion respectively. Then, three common grounding grid corrosion detection methods, such as electric network analysis method, electromagnetic field detection method and electrochemical method, are introduced. On this basis, the advantages and disadvantages of three methods are compared. Further prospects for the corrosion detection technology of the grounding grid are pointed out. (paper)
