  • Abstract
    This paper shows the use of the hybrid finite-boundary element method (HM) in the analysis of complex grounding systems (GS) designed for protection of power and industrial systems. In the field calculation a three-dimensional (3-D) linear finite element and a 3-D mixed boundary element were applied. The program solution used is suitable for any GS and for isotropic or anisotropic soil properties.
