Site dependent parameters such as soil resistivity, maximum grid current, fault duration, shock duration, surface layer material resistivity, and grid geometry have substantial impact on the design and performance of an earth grid. The grid geometry, i.e. the area occupied by the grid system, conductor spacing and the depth of burial of earth grid specifically have much impact on the mesh, step, touch...
Split factor is a fundamental consideration when designing a distribution substation earth grid. Arbitrary choice of split factor in earth grid design process may lead to technical and economic implications resulting in underestimated or overestimated designs. In this paper, a distribution substation earth grid was designed using SESCAD and executed in MALT module of CDEGS. The energization current...
Design of distribution substation earthing grid can be very challenging in high resistivity soils especially in two layer soils where the top layer resistivity is lower than the bottom layer. This paper presents the design of a distribution substation earth grid using Current Distribution Electromagnetic Field Grounding Soil Structure Analysis Software (CDEGS). Soil resistivity measurement was carried...
