Abstract
An accurate design of grounding systems is essential to assure the safety of the persons, to
protect the equipment and to avoid interruptions in the power supply. In order to attain these targets, it is
necessary to compute the equivalent electrical resistance of the system and the potential distribution on the
earth surface in fault conditions. In this paper, a numerical approach for grounding analysis embedded in
stratified soils and its implementation in a high-performance parallel computer are presented. The feasibility
of this system is shown with its application to the grounding analysis in layered soils by using the geometry
of real grounding grids.
