For electrical workers, installing a standard grounding system is almost an afterthought — drive two ground rods and you're done. But this practice is inadequate for today's demanding applications ...

In order to protect against transient overvoltages it is important to implement resistance grounding. These transients are caused by arcing ground faults, and they supply suitable current for ...

Electricity does not choose “the path of least resistance,” but flows on all paths presented to it. The flow divides among those paths in inverse proportion to their impedances (those paths with lower ...

Neither a high resistance-grounded system nor an underground system can supply line-to-ground loads. If protection and monitoring equipment is connected from line to ground, then it must not threaten ...

In this interview, industry expert Jason Chonko shares practical strategies for overcoming common challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical measurements by addressing noise, grounding, ...

The author is southwest tech engineer for Wheatstone Corp. Hardly a week goes by that the Wheatstone Tech Support department doesn’t get at least one call from a customer who is having equipment ...
