Electrical Grounding in Cold Regions
Electrical grounding for temporary and permanent installations in cold regions is complicated by the existence of frozen soil. This is because the electrical resistivity of frozen soil can be several orders of magnitude higher than unfrozen soil, the contact resistance between the grounding electrod...
