This paper presents a substation grounding grid analysis with the variation of soil layer depth. The grounding grid system of a practical 22 kV substation, in which the ground grid is made from copper, is calculated by virtue of the CDEGS software.

The supporting soil resistivity data has been obtained from field tests at the substation. The result shows that soil resistivity was interpreted to two-layer soil structure with low resistivity top layer and high resistivity bottom layer. The studied ground grid system is installed with constant 3 m ground rods.
