Small distribution grid, low resistivity, all parameters given
Grid Resistance
Computes the resistance of a substation grounding grid and the resulting ground potential rise (GPR = Ig * Rg) using the simplified Schwarz equation from IEEE 80-2013. Accounts for soil resistivity, grid area, total buried conductor length, and burial depth to assess whether step and touch voltage safety limits are met during ground faults.
