Abstract
It is well known that the MV paper-insulated cables lines act as long grounding electrodes, or inject fault current directly into the surrounding soil. As a consequence of that the MV lines performed of this type of cables spontaneously form a very large and complex grounding system around the HV/MV distribution substations. The area encompassed by this type of grounding system is much larger than occupied by the HV/MV substation itself. Because of that these grounding systems manifest excellent performances including a very low value of the impedance to ground. The problem with this type of grounding systems appears only at the design stage of the HV/MV substation, when safety condition inside and in the vicinity of this substation should be estimated. This paper provides improvements in accuracy to the only existing practical method developed for the analysis of this type of grounding systems.
