Abstract

The aim of this paper is to obtain the distribution of tensions in the land excited by currents type ray using different types of electrodes: the goad electrodes and the deep goad electrodes, and as an exceptional case an electrode type drags was used. In this work, the program ANSYS® that is based on the finite elements method (FEM) was used. After the simulation of the distribution of tensions, different parameters were obtained, such as the tensions of step (Vp) and of contact (Vc) which determine the security of the installation of put in the earth (PE) protection.
