  • Abstract
    This paper presents the results of a study conducted to assess the accuracy of a widely used computer algorithm for the analysis of grounding grids. The paper concludes with recommended practices for both horizontal and vertical grid conductor segmentation for the calculation of resistance and earth surface voltages for simple structures.
