This guide is primarily concerned with grounding practices related to personnel protection within SPPs for 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems.
According to 250.54, while auxiliary grounding electrodes are permitted, they are not required to be connected to the building or structure grounding electrode system. Similarly, supplementary
Usually, the zero sequence voltage in a distribution line is less than 2% so that 4% zero sequence voltage provides enough safety margins for the current rating of the grounding bank.
Minimizing ground resistance enhances safety; thus, for optimal protection of persons and equipment, striving for a resistance of less than one ohm is advisable. Achieving
13) An EGC smaller than 6 AWG should be protected from physical damage by installing these in a raceway or cable armor. It should run with the circuit or current-carrying
The NFPA and IEEE recommend a ground resistance value of 5 ohms or less while the NEC has stated to “Make sure that system impedance to ground is less than 5 ohms specified in NEC
The National Institute of Standards (a gov-ernmental agency within the US Dept. of Commerce) has shown this resistance to be almost negligible provided that the ground electrode is free of
Protect ground rods passing through concrete floor with a double wrapping of pressure-sensitive insulating tape or heat-shrunk insulating sleeve from 2 inches above to 6 inches below
This report clarifies some of these complexities and suggests grounding configurations appropriate for PV systems. Issue PV systems have
Use an impedance measuring device to ensure that the resistance between touchable grounded points and the main ground is less than 0.1 ohms. Perform this test by injecting 10 amps into
