UN_PAT: a software for calculating transient grounding potential

Blog Article

This paper presents results from work done at the National University of Colombia and from a PhD thesis Magnolia Bark written there.This work was aimed at implementing software for analysing the transient behaviour of any configuration of grounding system buried in lineal, homogeneous and isotropic soil.The hybrid electromagnetic model (HEM) was used because it presents high versatility and low computation lubes time.The UN_PAT software was written in C++; it used free libraries with the aim of being free software so that it could be modified and improved in future work.

The software results were validated with other software, with results from another analysis model and experimental results; some of these comparisons are given in this paper.
