Development of a Mobile Design Template for Substation Earthing System

Electrical engineers often find the process of designing the earthing system of substations to be tedious, arduous and time consuming. Mobile apps development and usage has been on the rise of late due to the high availability of smart phones and Internet of Things. In terms of electrical earthing system design, there are very few applications available which are neither helpful nor informative. Hence, this paper outlines the development of a mobile application which is able to assist and ease electrical engineers’ design process. Functionality and validity of the app has been verified by comparing calculations obtained manually and by the app. Hence, this app can be used for the design and verification of an earthing system.
