There are some cases where a small-sized grounding electrode for communication or computer, is adjacent to a large-sized grounding electrode for power. In the cases, when fault current flows into the large-sized electrode, the small-sized electrode is affected with the transfer voltage Vs. For the design of the two adjacent grounding electrodes, Vs has to be well known. In this paper, Vs is computed by the method of images and the current source superposition method.
A grid electrode and a combination electrode of a grid and four rods, are taken as the large-sized grounding electrode. A grid, a counterpoise, a rod and a combination of a counterpoise and two rods, are taken as the small-sized grounding electrode. Homogeneous ground and two-layers ground of the first layer resistivity ρ1 and the second layer resistivity ρ2, are taken into consideration. From the obtained results, it is pointed out that Vs in the case of a combination electrode of a grid and four rods, as the large-sized electrode, is greater than Vs in the case of a grid electrode only. It is also pointed out that Vs in the case of ρ1&ρ2 is greater than Vs in the case of homogeneous ground, and Vs in the case of ρ1>ρ2 is smaller than Vs in the case of homogeneous ground.
