A study of kenaf, straw rice ash and palm Ol residue ashes as additive material to earthing system using fall of potential method

Abstract

Earthing systems acts as a significant part of the safety of the electric system. Under standard and failure situations, it should be necessary to be functioning efficiently in electrical system safety throughout all times. This project is to study the effect of Natural Enhancement Material (NEM) by using Fall of Potential Method to the eartihing resistivity. The NEM material used is Kenaf, Straw Rice ash and Palm Oil Residue Ashes. The measurement took part for 60 days. The purpose of this project is to compare the effect of the NEM as the additive material to the earthing system between three situations, Reference as bare soil, Kenaf with Straw Rice Ash and Kenaf with Palm Oil Residue Ashes. With two NEM material has been conducted, the analysis shown which the better material combing can improve the earth resistivity.
