CDEGs MALT and MALZ program

CDEGs MALT and MALZ program

(OP)
We currently have CDEGS Multiground with MALT program, is MALZ program required for Substation Grounding Analysis?

RE: CDEGs MALT and MALZ program

It's been a long time but I remember using RESAP and MALZ when performing ground grid analyses.

RE: CDEGs MALT and MALZ program

MALT assumes that the potential at all points of the ground grid is the same. MALZ provides for voltage drops in the grid conductors. There can be a difference in large grids if the soil resistivity is low, but normally MALT is adequate for normal step- and toudh-voltage calculations. If there is a difference in grid potential, then the location of the fault is important, so it complicates the analysis.

MALZ also is needed to analyze high frequencies such as lightning.
