Performance analysis of Flyash with Bentonite in grounding pit

In modern era of power systems, generation, transmission and distribution is well operated and maintained to satisfy the demand and supply management. Various problems are faced every day in all the power system areas. One among the problems faced in all the high voltage electrical equipment's is grounding. Natural grounding is done using charcoal and salt to maintain the less resistance in the grounding pit but the less resistance grounding pit becomes high resistive area due to various reasons like improper maintenance, charcoal and salt getting dissolved in soil after some period of time. In this paper a new method of grounding which uses Flyash and Bentonite is proposed and the performance is been analyzed by various standard methods.
