“…For the optimal design of grounding grid system, the optimal compression ratio (OCR) could be determined, in which the touch voltage reaches its minimum if the grounding grid is designed using this compression ratio [10]. An empirical expression is suggested to calculate OCR as follows [8–10] where where k is the number of segments of the conductor in any direction; and h is the grid laying depth. The relationship between a 0 , a 1 … and L is given in Table 1 [10–12].…”
