This video tutorial focuses on the design and modelling of Earthing Systems for Wind Farms and Solar PV Farms. Real-world examples are provided and are explained.
Fault Current Distribution Module
Learn how to calculate the fault currents returning to remote sources via the cable screens or overhead earth wires of substation feeders for an earthing design.
How to Perform a Simple Earthing Design
This tutorial shows you step-by-step how to use SafeGrid Earthing Software to perform an earthing design which will show you the design process.
Lightning Protection Module
Example Rolling Sphere Method calculation which shows how to overlay protection systems such as lightning masts and earth wires on a site drawing.
Load Grid from DXF AutoCAD File
SafeGrid can model custom earthing arrangements of any size or shape in 2D or 3D. You can specify the grid using the in-built editor tools or you can import grids drawn in AutoCAD.

Simulate a Fall of Potential Test
With the Fall of Potential Test, the resistance of an earthing system is measured using a remote earth electrode. There is a theoretical position of 61.8 % of the separation distance between the measured grid and the remote electrode, which is the correct position for measuring the exact grid impedance for uniform soil resistivity but not for multilayer soils. This tutorial shows ELEK SafeGrid Earthing Software users how to simulate an FOP test.
Transient (Time-domain) Earthing & Grounding Grid Calculations
ELEK SafeGrid Earthing Software can perform calculations in the time domain such as for lightning currents. Transient waveforms are composed of many frequency components and Fourier transforms are used. The transient waveform types include IEC 62305, CIGRE, Heidler, Double-exponential, and Custom. The time-domain response of an earthing system can be analysed.
