MultiGround+, MultiGround and AutoGround are three powerful and high precision software packages dedicated to grounding analyses and conductive coupling studies. SES has developed these packages for engineers and scientists who specialize in grounding and conductive interference and who demand accurate, no-compromise solutions. The RESAP, MALT and FCDIST engineering modules make up the core of these software packages.

Put MultiGround to work..

• Carry out and interpret resistivity measurements using Wenner, Schlumberger, or Dipole-Dipole techniques or select your own arbitrary electrode spacing configuration. Select horizontal, vertical or exponential multilayered soil structures.
• Analyze complex power system ground networks composed of arbitrarily oriented conductors located in multilayered soils (vertical, horizontal, spherical or cylindrical) or in soils with finite volumes with other resistivities, such as water upstream and downstream of a dam!
• Hybrid energization by current or voltage can be applied to different conductor groups in the same simulation.
• Investigate transferred potentials and currents diverted to uncoated pipelines or other metallic structures due to energized ground conductor networks.
• Determine distortion effects caused by the proximity of multiple grounding networks.
• Simulate complex anode beds and examine cathodic protection problems involving uncoated buried pipelines (use MultiFields for coated pipes)
• Interpret ground resistance measurements made using the Fall-of-Potential method and other techniques.
• Determine the fault current distribution between grounding systems and overhead ground wires, skywires, counterpoises, and other metallic paths.
• You can automatically generate safety tables of touch and step voltages determined according to national, international or your own specific standards, as well as plots of grid "hotspots," to help you quickly refine your grounding designs.
• You can very easily focus on dangerous zones and identify overdesigned regions to optimize your final design.
