Elaboração de tutorial do Software TecAt 5.2: ferramenta utilizada na caracterização de solos e projetos de malhas de aterramento.

Abstract

Grounding systems have an important role, especially considering the safety of people and equipment of the system. For the purpose of facilitating the work of designers of reclamation, several software features computational tools to assist ground loops projects elaboration. In this perspective, this study aims to present a TecAt Plus 5.2 software tutorial. Among many other functions, this program performs the stratification of soil and checks whether the potential that arise on the surface of the mesh, when there is a ground fault, are lower than the maximum step potential and touch a person can withstand without the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation. With the results obtained by the simulation, it was concluded that the software is quite effective in ground project.
