Summary | Graphite electrodes have been successfully used in MT measurements by a number of Russian companies for decades. This type of electrode has proven itself extremely well in practice. During the continuous use of graphite electrodes, an optimal design was developed, which made it possible to achieve a low level of noise and high reliability in various climatic conditions. However, up to the present time, this type of electrodes has hardly been mentioned even in large western review papers. This work aims to correct this omission. In the course of this work, a technique for measuring electrode noise was developed and an attempt was made to investigate the noise characteristics of graphite electrodes, as well as to compare them with other types of electrodes. It was found that the noise level of graphite electrodes is slightly lower than that of the widely used Pb-PbCl2 and Cu-CuSO4 electrodes. Also, this work demonstrates the importance of proper electrode maintenance for the best performance. |
