Cdegs Earthing [hot] (ORIGINAL · METHOD)

GPR is the maximum voltage a grounding system may attain relative to remote earth. CDEGS calculates GPR ($I_g \times R_g$) by considering the leakage current from every segment of the grid, unlike analytical formulas that treat the grid as a uniform disc.

Assumes uniform soil of 100 Ω-m.

A fault current of 10 kA flows into a grid of 50m x 50m. cdegs earthing

Using CDEGS, the engineer can optimize the design without guesswork:

The accuracy of an earthing design is entirely dependent on the accuracy of the soil model. GPR is the maximum voltage a grounding system

CDEGS moves beyond the limitations of manual calculations by using advanced numerical methods like finite element analysis and inversion algorithms. Key capabilities include:

Engineers use specific modules within the CDEGS suite to address different engineering challenges: A fault current of 10 kA flows into a grid of 50m x 50m

CDEGS is a comprehensive engineering software suite developed by Safe Engineering Services & technologies ltd (SES). It is not a single tool but a collection of modules, the most prominent for earthing being:
