Introduction

The importance of effective protection of electrical and electronic systems against electrical power surges, lightning, electrical interference cannot be over emphasised.

Inadequate or poor earthing or grounding practice can result in continual faults and intermittent interruptions in supply which in turn gives rise to expensive downtime and lost production. In addition there is the safety of plant personnel to be considered and the requirements of the countries legislation to be met regarding effective earthing or grounding.

This course will cover the basic theory necessary to understand and apply grounding (earthing) and the most important aspects of an effective and practical approach to the subject in an industrial situation.
