    Practice for Grounding of Industrial and


    Commercial Power Systems - Description
    Abstract: The problems of system grounding, that is, connection to ground of neutral, of
    the corner of the delta, or of the midtap of one phase, are covered. The advantages and
    disadvantages of grounded versus ungrounded systems are discussed. Information is
    given on how to ground the system, where the system should be grounded, and how to
    select equipment for the grounding of the neutral circuits. Connecting the frames and
    enclosures of electric apparatus, such as motors, switchgear, transformers, buses, cables
    conduits, building frames, and portable equipment, to a ground system is addressed. The
    fundamentals of making the interconnection or ground-conductor system between electric
    equipment and the ground rods, water pipes, etc. are outlined. The problems of static
    electricity—how it is generated, what processes may produce it, how it is measured, and
    what should be done to prevent its generation or to drain the static charges to earth to
    prevent sparking—are treated. Methods of protecting structures against the effects of
    lightning are also covered. Obtaining a low-resistance connection to the earth, use of
    ground rods, connections to water pipes, etc. is discussed. A separate chapter on sensitive
    electronic equipment is included.
