Comparison of soil treatment using natrium chloride and copper sulphate for electrical earthing system

This paper describes the comparison of soil treatment using natrium chloride and copper sulphate for electrical earthing system. Achieving good resistivity from the soil - some poor soils needs improvement in which to reduces its resistivity to make sure the grounding rods can conduct in such large electrical currents because these grounding rods always depends on the surrounding of the soil. The electrolytes seems to be a good material in which giving a lower resistance for the soil. An electrolyte is the ionized compound after dissolve in the suitable solvents like water. It performs in giving the ions to make a pathway to the electron to pass through it. This mean that electrolytes not just to reduce resistivity but also reacts as the jointer to the grounding rods and makes the electrical current to flow through it and soils to the earth. To do so, there are common used electrolytes like salt or scientifically natrium chloride. However, the copper sulphate also has its own potential as it can react as electrolytes that also having less corrosion than salt. For that, this research will objectively starts in studying the previous research that uses salts as material in lowering the resistivity of the soil. Yet at the same time, the study on copper sulphate also will be done to see its potential in replacing salts. This experiment will take part to see the reaction on these two electrolytes on soil resistivity in thirty days. The copper sulphate will gives lower resistivity to the soil compared to natrium chloride for better earthing.
