Abstract :
The authors report a method for planning, constructing, and running grounding installations. This method has been fully tested by SIP for exchanges and networks in areas characterized by a particularly high specific resistivity; and by ENEL for links in line-carried waves on HV overhead lines. The approach developed aims at making it reliable over a considerable length of time and optimizing the cost/benefit ratio for each system
