Creating an effective ground-fault current path to assure the operation of overcurrent protective devices on solidly grounded systems and to limit the voltage-rise on equipment frames during fault condition is of paramount importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next concern is building and equipment protection. In this case, providing low impedance bonding and grounding paths between the system source, the electrical service and downstream equipment will serve to limit hazardous voltages due to faults and especially, lightning, A low resistance-to-ground system will serve to limit the voltage rise on systems and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut of equal importance is the length of the grounding electrode conductor. It is critical to limit the length of this conductor due to the increased impedance of lightning currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd finally, a properly installed grounding system will minimize the effects of electrical noise on sensitive circuits and stabilize the voltage-to-ground during normal operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume has extensive information on grounding electrical systems and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis information includes the following topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSystem Grounding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEquipment Grounding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBonding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Grounding Electrode System\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSolidly Grounded Systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpedance Grounded Systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGrounding Separately-Derived Systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCalculating Ground-Fault Currents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConductor Insulation Withstand Ratings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConductor Fusing or Melting Currents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFunctional Grounding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLightning Protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eReadership: Anyone involved with designing a proper grounding system that will serve to protect people and equipment from the effects of ground faults and lightning.
