Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of the grounding system in the Hexagon Building, Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University. The quality of the grounding system is determined based on the measured resistance value, where the ideal value is in the range of 0 to 5 Ω. Several factors that influence the grounding resistance value include electrode depth, number and distance between electrodes, conductor size, and soil type characteristics. The grounding resistance value is obtained through direct measurement using an Earth Tester with the three-point method. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide an overview of the effectiveness of the grounding system at this location. The measurement results showed that the average value of grounding resistance in the Hexagon Building at the first point was 29 Ω. Furthermore, the grounding resistance value at the second point was recorded at 31 Ω, while at the third point it was 27 Ω. All three far exceed the set standards. This is due to the planting of grounding electrodes that are not deep enough. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that to achieve a grounding resistance value of ≤ 5, an electrode planting depth of 12 is required.
