Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the use of the finite element method when modeling overvoltage protection device connected to a grounding electrode. This paper presents the results of the finite element method (FEM) investigations of the interaction of gas-filled surge voltage arrester and a horizontal buried grounding electrode.
