Abstract

This project was to monitor grounding system for retaining the property of grounding protection where focus on measurement of potential of grounding generated by lightning strike. Grounding system is circuitry which connects parts of the electric circuit with the ground. The measurement of grounding produced by lightning detected using an antenna that act as a sensor. Two grounding chamber act as input is connected to the active integrator circuit by using THS4631D. Output of the active integrator circuit is connected to the high-speed oscilloscope. This project used OrCAD software to design the PCB circuit. The waveform was observed using the Teledyne LeCroy HDO4024 digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). Throughout this project, the several parameter from the profile of grounding waveform generated by lightning strike can be determined. Therefore it is important to have a system to monitor the grounding performance by monitoring the potential voltage between two electrode grounding chamber. The main purpose of grounding monitoring system is to protect people, animals and all of the equipment in a building from being damaged after it had been struck with lightning. In conclusion, the objectives are successfully achieved and further research need to be done to increase the result accuracy of this project.
