Grid1 - C07-SAN ANTONIO - GR1S - Complete

The document presents a ground grid system analysis using the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) for a project in San Antonio, detailing the configuration of ground conductors and rods. It includes input data such as soil resistivity, material constants, and conductor specifications, along with a cost summary. The report concludes with a summary of ground resistance and potential risks, indicating that both touch and step voltages exceed tolerable limits, posing safety concerns.
