Abstract: When the lightning current enters the ground through the grounding system, the impulse dispersion performance can be observed by the phenomenon of soil spark discharge, which is fundamentally determined by the nearby soil. At present, engineers use an empirical formula to convert the soil spark discharge to the impulse coefficient of impulse grounding resistance. Therefore, there is no available quantitative analysis method to evaluate soil impulse dispersion performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an evaluation method for the impulse discharge efficiency of soil by using X-ray images, define V I as the parameter, which is the ratio of the volume of the discharge area to the peak current. Then, the rationality and validity of the method are verified. Finally, the variation rules of impulse discharge efficiency are analyzed in different soils. Results show that the V I can reflect the change rules of impulse dispersion performance more clearly under different soil conditions, and this parameter provides a new idea for enhancing the impulse dispersion performance of soil near the grounding electrode.
