Course Overview

Advanced System grounding has been used since electrical power systems began. However, many utilities and industrial plants have used system grounding methods differently. The problem of whether a system neutral should be earthed and how is should be earthed, has many times been misunderstood completely. Therefore grounding of many systems has been based upon past experience rather than engineering analysis.

This course provides applicable information for grounding, such as definitions, reasons for having a system grounding, equipment grounding, the most desirable grounding method, and so on, and how to measure grounding resistance in order to maintain the grounding system.

Course Objective

  • System, equipment, static, lightning protection and sensitive electronics grounding
  • Components, methods, connection and electrode choices, location, applications, and issues for a variety of installations
  • Fall of potential ground resistance techniques
  • Soil resistivity measurement techniques
  • Perform testing
  • Interpretation of all test results
