Effective length of a single long horizontal ground conductor buried in homogeneous soil

The effectiveness of a grounding system is highly dependent on several parameters such as its size, i.e. the length of the ground conductor, the electrical characteristics of the ground conductor and its surrounding soil. A single long horizontal ground conductor being a basic configuration of a gro...
