This book will allow you to gain practical skills and knowhow in groundingbonding lightning surge protection. Few topics generate as much controversyand argument as that of grounding and the associated topics of surgeprotection shielding and lightning protection of electrical and electronicsystems. Poor grounding practice can be the cause of continual and intermittentdifficulttodiagnose problems in a facility. This book looks at these issuesfrom a fresh yet practical perspective and enables you to reduce expensivedowntime on your plant and equipment to a minimum by correct application ofthese principles.Learning outcomes Apply the various methods of grounding electrical systems Detail the applicable national Standards Describe the purposes of grounding and bonding List the types of systems that cannot be grounded Describe what systems can be operated ungrounded Correctly shield sensitive communications cables from noise and interference Apply practical knowledge of surge and transient protection Troubleshoot and fix grounding and surge problems Design install and test an effective grounding system for electronicequipment Understand lightning and how to minimize its impact on your facility Protect sensitive equipment from lightningAn engineers guide to earthing shielding lightning and surge protectiondesigned to deliver reliable equipment and communications systems that complywith international and national codesDiscover how to reduce plant downtime and intermittent faults by implementingbestpractice groundingearthing techniquesLearn the principles of cable shielding in communicationnetworks «
