Earthing Calculation IEEE

The document contains the steps and calculations to design a grounding grid system based on input field data. It provides the dimensions of the grid, soil properties, required conductor size, initial grid design with number of conductors and spacings, calculation of grid resistance, and finally checks that the mesh and step voltages are below the tolerable limits. Key input parameters include the grid area, soil resistivity, fault current, and tolerable touch and step voltages. The design is then iteratively adjusted until the voltage criteria are met.
