Calculation of Touch Potentials
Calculation of Touch Potentials
(OP)
Has anyone reviewed the various computer programs for calculating touch and step potentials in substations?
I see IEEE std 80 refers to a few but I can not find any details.
Thanks

You should also consider WinIGS by Advanced Grounding Concepts, developed by Dr. Sakis Meliopoulos. This software is the commercial version of software developed for EPRI. Dr. Meliopoulos also has an excellent reputation in the grounding field.

I know the people that make ETAP software also have a ground grid module. I'm sure it's less expensive. However, I've never used it.

There are available templates in MathCad and Excel that could be use with decent results for many applications.
