Easy to create and hard to detect, ground loops can only be prevented through proactive design and strict NEC compliance.

A GFCI does not require an equipment-grounding conductor (green wire) since the GFCI detects an imbalance between the “hot” (black) conductor and the “neutral” (white) conductor. In short: using a ...

High ampere loads require large conductors. Although higher capacity electrical systems require more complex G/B systems with larger equipment grounding conductors (EGCs), the connections and joints ...

The digital filter subunit and its circuit board can be classified as high-speed equipment ... The power and ground conductors should be as wide and short as possible. We will determine the ...

The most recent power outage that hit the Ninoy Aquino International Airports’ (NAIA) Terminal 3 last Friday was due to an electrical fault caused by grounding conductors which were accidentally left ...

Abstract: In many wye electrical systems, the function of the ground and neutral conductor is not differentiated because they are incorrectly joined. From a technical point of view, a connection ...

CIC might contain one cable or three-phase cables, but we have seen up to 4 cable components with a spare or an added equipment grounding conductor being designed using CIC. It is also common in the ...

The community ERI FM antenna on Mt. Morrison, overlooking Denver. Note the substantial excavation of surface rock and the lack of topsoil – challenge to establishing a good ground. The author is a ...
