Deducing a 2-layer model from measured soil resistivity.

Deducing a 2-layer model from measured soil resistivity.

Deducing a 2-layer model from measured soil resistivity.

(OP)
Hello

I am designing a ground system for an electrical substation, I have already done the soil resistivity measurements.
I am using ETAP to design the system, and it is asking me for a two layer model resistivity values, but i do not have that.
I know that some designing software, like Autogrid pro, can calculate and produce a multi-layer model from soil resistivity measurements. can ETAP do such thing? I think it can but i cannot find that tool.

Thanks in advance

RE: Deducing a 2-layer model from measured soil resistivity.

You try to create a two layers from your data best you can. Having more layers just gives you better resolution.

Why not call ETAP directly?
