Grounding Systems
MODULE 1
In the lessons of this brief overview module, we separate out the different components of a grounding system and investigate its core installation requirements. A proper grounding system is vital for the safety of AC and DC systems, corrosion prevention, and lightning protection.
A short introduction to the various grounding circuits we will cover in this overview module.
In this lesson, we take a look at the common ground point, which we call a grounding bus to distinguish it from what we have called the DC circuit ground. We also learn about the core differences between grounded and isolated ground DC systems.
We learn about the purpose of all grounding systems plus installation requirements for grounding and bonding systems depending on this purpose.
