GroundRod - AC substation earthing calculation software
GroundRod AC substation earthing calculation software
When designing earthing systems for AC substations, it is essential that the local environment and perimeters are free from the possibility of causing electric shock, and provide a low impedance path for fault and earth leakage currents. To ensure the correct and safe design of earthing grids, various standards have been developed to calculate safe touch and step voltages. Cobham Technical Services are the worldwide agent for GroundRod, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which performs calculations complying with all relevant standards providing the essential data to specify earthing systems quickly and efficiently. GroundRod can perform earthing calculations in accordance with any of the following standards, ensuring compliance and design safety:
- BS 7354 -1990
- EA Technical Specification 41-24
- IEEE Standard 2000/1986.
