Abstract :
This paper presents a brief compilation of typical and particular cases of grounding systems calculation using procedures proposed by IEEE std 80-200, simulated by means of a software developed under the mathematical tool Matlab, based on the finite elements method. This study consists, basically, of tables and graphics that shows a series of interesting results and offer a reliable and practical instrument for the grounding systems design
