Modelling single grounding electrode using COMSOL

In electrical engineering, the necessity of grounding system refers to a system where conductor is grounded and intended or may cause the current to flow under normal operations. Grounding system is designed for appropriate of the clearing the grounding faults and dissipates the lightning energy. Mo...
