An analysis on the influence of the atmospheric discharges in electrical protection systems is performed and also a comparison between current and voltage impulsive circuits. The device is built of electronic circuits controlled by a microcontroller, with the possibility of parameter adjusting for shaping the generated impulse wave. The device was conceived such that it can be used for tests of soil impedance measurement and for verification of the behavior of electrical grounding systems under high frequencies. The results are presented for tests in different types of systems and there was satisfactory performance for the developed equipment when compared with a commercial device / Este trabalho apresenta o projeto e a implementação do dispositivo capaz de medir os efeitos elétricos, em especial, as impedâncias, em malha de aterramento, sujeito a descargas atmosféricas. Analisa-se as influências das descargas atmosféricas nos sistemas de proteção elétricos e desenvolve-se análise comparativa dos circuitos impulsivos de corrente e de tensão. Constrói-se o dispositivo que consiste de circuitos eletrônicos controlados por microcontrolador, com possibilidade de ajuste de parâmetros da onda gerada. O dispositivo produzido é utilizado para medição da impedância do solo e verificação do comportamento de sistemas de aterramento elétrico em baixas e altas frequências. São apresentados os resultados dos testes em diferentes tipos de sistemas, demonstrando o satisfatório desempenho quando comparado com instrumento comercial.

This master's thesis deals with the measurement of grounding systems in HV/LV distribution networks, which includes grounding system of distribution substation and transmission lines. Explores the issue and principles for the measurement of parameters, which are important for the protection of persons and animals in order not to touch exposed conductive part accidentally, protection of electrical machines and equipment against high fault current and dangerous surges while the correct function of the connected electrical equipment is maintained. These parameters include earth potential rise, ground resistance, soil resistivity, touch voltage, step voltage and transferred potential to the LV network. The aim of this work is the preparation, analysis and subsequent evaluation for the real measurement in practice. These earthing-system measurements were carried out at the distribution station and the concrete pole with a section disconnector. Then a numerical model of the grounding system of concrete pole was created in ANSYS. Subsequent evaluation of the results as numerical terms (comparison measurements and simulated results) and evaluation in terms of analytical (measurement results compliance with the standard) including the numerical model of the earthing system is solved in the practical part of the master's thesis.
