Abstract

This paper describes numerical algorithm for accurate computing of the touch voltage and step voltage. The algorithm is based on the Thevenin equivalent and grid model of the human’s feet.It is practically to use this accurate approach only for some very important points on the earth surface because Thevenin equivalent circuit is valid only for a given earthing grids configuration, a given foot size and location, and a given earth model parameters.
