Our research aims to provide recommendations on:

  • Design of grounding systems for diverting lightning currents that strike masts, distribution transformers, or other components necessary for the power supply
  • Design of common and separate grounding systems on the HV and LV sides of distribution transformers
  • Interconnection of subscribers' safety earth to the transformers' grounding systems
  • Optimal placement of surge arresters
  • Guidelines for measuring transition resistance in electrode systems and mapping of soil resistivity
