Considering urban substations ground grid diagnosis, some real-physical constraints result in measurement process challenges: 1) limited length between electrodes used to measure the equivalent impedance of the grounding system; 2) to determine the current that flows from ground grid conductors to the earth; and 3) to determine the grid resistance. In this scenario, an adequate diagnosis of the safety offered by the ground grid under test when a ground fault occurs is not a trivial task. This article describes a methodology that allows a reliable diagnosis regarding the safety provided by a substation ground grid. The methodology is applied to the parameters obtained in performed field tests. The method has two steps. First, the fall-of-potential method with reduced distances between electrodes is used to determine the equivalent impedance of the grounding system. Then, the ground current is obtained. In both stages, optimization techniques are applied to the specific equations that govern the phenomenon under investigation. Comparative case studies considering real-life data illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
