See How We Compare
We have benchmarked our SafeGrid Earthing Software results against well-known software XGSLab™ and CDEGS™. We show that the results for grid resistance in multilayer soils up to 5 layers are virtually identical. The results have been analysed.
Why Our Customers Choose SafeGrid Earthing
We are very happy with results we obtain from Safegrid, and our clients are very satisfied and confident with the accurate and detailed solutions we are able to give them using Safregrid.
Above all, we have always received fast and helpful technical support from Electrotechnik, which allows us to overcome quickly our issues.
Thanks to Electrotechnik for their professionalism."

A Wide Range of Outstanding Features
Features for Earthing & Grounding Systems Design
An intuitive earthing system design process. Enter your data into the modules and easily switch between them to achieve a safe design.
Grids of any shape or size
Design your earthing system using the in-built editor.
Import grids drawn in 2D or 3D AutoCAD (as a DXF file).
Soil resistivity measurements
Automatic multilayer soil modelling from Wenner and Schlumberger resistivity measurements. Analyse and combine multiple traverses.
Fault current distribution
Achieve a safe design by calculating the actual earth grid current from the prospective (maximum) fault level for single or multiple feeders.
Safety criteria
Determine safe touch and step voltage limits in compliance with IEC/TS 60479, EN 50522 and IEEE Standard 80.
Lightning protection module
Easily perform lightning designs based on rolling sphere method calculations.
Multiple conductor types
Model different conductor types and conductor sizes for horizontal conductors and rods.
Multilayer Finite Element Method calculations
Very accurate algorithms have been developed and proven time and time again through field current injection tests.
Grid Z impedance and GPR
Accurate calculations consider both series Z and mutual impedances (non-equipotential grid analysis) in the frequency domain.
Touch and step voltages
Calculates actual surface, touch and step voltages for comparison with permissible limits.
Plots in 2D or 3D
Analyse touch and step voltages produced by the earthing system during fault conditions.
Custom arrangements
Earthing systems of arbitrary shape, size or configurations.
High-frequency and above-ground structures
Accurate solutions to transient and steady state problems up to megahertz for analysing buried and above ground structures.
Lightning currents
Grid response to lightning strikes including current and potential distributions in the frequency-domain can be calculated.
Soil frequency dependency
There are several methods including CIGRE for automatically considering the variation of soil resistivity and permittivity with frequency.
Complex impedance of conductors
Series and mutual complex impedances are considered for both above and below ground conductors.
Multilayer soils
Can model horizontally layered soils with any number of layers of distinct resistivity and relative permittivity.
Lightning shielding design module
Determine the protected areas by defining the custom locations and heights of lightning masts in accordance with Standard IEC 62305.
Rolling Sphere Method
Automatic algorithm which determines the protected areas or zones of protection in 3D.
Protect levels
Define standard Protection Levels such as PL I (20 m), PL II (30 m), PL III (45 m), PL IV (60 m) or user-defined level.
Import site layout drawings
Overlay lightning masts and draw protection zones on construction drawings to a defined scale.
Multiple masts and equipment heights
Define any number of masts and wires (with sag) between masts. Also define groups and multiple equipment heights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, SafeGrid is used worldwide, so our users can model using metric or imperial units.
SafeGrid provides safety limit calculations in accordance with international standards IEEE Std. 80 and IEC 60479. The safety limit calculations prescribed by all other country-specific standards or guides are based on either of these.
Yes the main algorithm takes into account the voltage drops along conductors (quasi-static transversal impedance) due to both the self and mutual impedances and propagation effects.
Yes earthing systems comprising conductors in any arrangement. Multiple earthing systems can be modelled. CAD files (.dxf format) can be imported.
The fault current module is a useful tool to calculate the voltages and currents or short-circuit currents, fault current distributions or split factors. The algorithm is based on a general for of nodal analysis with all mutual impedances considered.
Complex multiple feeder configurations can be modelled consisting of cable circuits or overhead line feeders.
Yes Wenner-based field measurements can be entered and an optimal multilayer soil model calculated automatically.
Suitable for any buried earthing system from single rod in an LV application to a huge EHV substation application for DC and power frequencies.
