  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the calculation of ground resistance, surface voltage, touch voltage and step voltage, to mesh with horizontal wires arranged in different angles. The mathematical modeling is based on the method proposed by Heppe, which allows obtaining the grounding parameters for soil stratified in two layers. Moreover, the results obtained by the Variable Currents Method (VCM) have been compared to traditional methods and the simplified method of ANSI-IEEE Std. 80/2013. They also present the results using a grounding grid non-symmetrical with conductors on various angles.
