SKM GroundMat

SKM GroundMat is a specialized software module within SKM Power Tools (PTW) designed for substation ground grid design and analysis. It helps engineers evaluate touch and step voltages, earth potential rise, and overall grounding safety using IEEE Std. 80 and IEC Std. 479 standards.

Key Features of SKM GroundMat

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Models ground conductors and rods for accurate potential distribution.
- Matrix analysis for current displacement in grid conductors.
Safety Analysis
- Calculates maximum permissible touch and step voltages.
- Evaluates danger points and surface potentials.
- Considers body weight, exposure time, and surface materials.
Analysis Options
- Earth model analysis from field measurements (IEEE 80, Sunde, Gradient methods).
- User-specified fault current input.
- Ability to analyze multiple ground systems, including neighboring passive grids.
Interface & Usability
- Spreadsheet-style data entry for grids, rods, and earth models.
- 2D/3D visualization of grid/rod configurations and potential plots.
- Wizards for quick setup of grid/rod profiles.
- User-defined thresholds and color coding for graphical safety analysis.
Reporting
- Professional reports for grid/rod configuration and surface potential analysis.
- Comprehensive documentation of station data, currents, and safety evaluations.
