SafeGrid Earthing

SafeGrid is a well-known and comprehensive earthing design software tool that has been available for over ten years. It is one of the few packages in the world that can model multilayer soils, making it far more accurate than most other packages that can only model two soil layers. It is a multilayer earthing system software ideal for electrical engineers.

SafeGrid’s main finite element-based algorithm considers the complex, and frequency-dependent series impedance of the grid conductors. Software that neglects voltage drops in grid conductors can dramatically underestimate earthing requirements near high voltage equipment and overestimate grounding requirements everywhere else. Electrotechnik provides highly qualified technical assistance for the software.

What SafeGrid Earthing Software offers:

• SafeGrid is the most user-friendly. The design procedure is straightforward.
• The Multilayer FEM algorithm is powerful and precise.
• Accounts for grid conductor impedance in a much more accurate way. It results in increased safety and lower construction costs.
• From DC to high frequency, arbitrary earthing systems can be found below and above ground.
• Soil modelling gets done automatically based on field measurements.
• Module for fault current distribution with standard cases.
• AutoCAD files get used to creating custom grids.
• IEC and IEEE safety standards are both applicable.
• Plotting that is interactive and modern, with reports in PDF or Word and the ability to overlay plots with on-site drawings.
• For lightning protection designs, a rolling sphere method module is available.

The SafeGrid Earthing software is available in three package choices: SafeGrid (Standard), SafeGrid (Professional) and Power Bundle.
