[en] This paper deals with the electrokinetic modeling of earthing systems by means of a sub-domain perturbation finite element technique. An axisymmetric problem is solved for each single grounding rod or cable. Its solution must then be corrected by taking into account the influence of the other rods and cables. The electric scalar potential is transferred from one problem to the other through projections between meshes. An inherently 3D problem can thus be solved as a succession of 2D sub-problems, which significantly speeds up the solution and enables to tackle complicated grounding systems.
