Analysis of 4 Mesh Grid Grounding Systems by FEM Simulations and Field Tests

Abstract:

In this paper, the analysis results of the imitative grounding systems consisting of 4 mesh grid with rods are presented by using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and field test. This combined grid with multiple rods configuration was installed by previous researchers [4] and the resistance value is obtained under steady state. The FEM simulations were conducted and the resistance value and electric field profile are obtained. Comparison study in terms of its resistance value is performed between FEM and at steady state, and further analysis of the grounding systems using FEM is presented and discussed in this paper.
