An effective grounding system is a crucial aspect of electrical safety, as it can prevent electrical accidents and equipment damage. However, proper grounding planning requires a thorough understanding of the soil type and resistivity values at the site. Different soil types have varying characteristics, such as moisture content, density, and chemical composition, which can affect the soil resistivity. Sample data were collected in RT 16, Damai Bahagia subdistrict, Balikpapan City. The depth of the main rod to be measured was varied at current electrode distances of 10 m and 14 m, then at varying depths between 0.5 m and 1.75 m. A linear regression approach was used to determine resistivity values of 5 ohms or lower. The results showed that at different current electrode distances, grounding resistivity values of less than 5 ohms were achieved at relatively similar depths, namely 2.1 m or greater. This was influenced by the relatively uniform type of guard in each soil layer, namely swampy soil.
