%X During the historical development of electrical engineering, have developed many methods for calculatingthe contact resistance grounding electrodes of different configurations, from approximate methods, semiexact methods up methods which guarantee good levels of exactness. The development achieved by thecomputer has enabled the rescue of relatively old algorithms, such as those based on the theory ofMaxwell¡¯s images, until the development of methods based on the theory of finite elements. In this paperwe describe the features and benefits of a program for the design and analysis of grounding systems forany electrical installation, using the theory of Maxwell¡¯s images.
