The
sixth edition of Electrical Grounding has been thoroughly updates in
accordance with the 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC) and now incorporates
the use of metric measurements in addition to the foot-pound system.
Early
chapters serve as an orientation to the "what" and 'why' of
grounding, including explanations of the electrical theory and terminology
used in Article 250 of the NEC.
|
Subsequent chapters
of the book permit readers to explore individual conductors used in the
grounding system in detail, starting with the grounding electrode. Permitted
materials, installation, sizing, and potential pitfalls are addressed.
Once
readers have become comfortable with basic installations, the book devotes
attention to special installations, such as: separately derived systems,
multiple buildings or structures served by a common service, high-voltage
installations, and the use of ground-fault protection.
The author's unique
systematic approach has served as an effective path to true understanding of
every phase of electrical grounding for countless journeyman electricians.
Key Features
-
whenever the same
rule is applicable to more than one conductor, it is repeated when that
conductor is discussed eliminating the distraction created by
"back-and-forth" rule referencing
-
simplified line
drawings and flow diagrams throughout the book offer guidance in calculating
conductor sizes and reading NEC tables
-
specific examples
show readers how to calculate a conductor size, as well as how to use
various NEC tables (reproduced in the book) for grounding conductor sizing
-
comprehensive
coverage of neutral (grounded) conductors spans the spectrum, from the use
of grounded conductor connections in DC and AC systems through overcurrent
protection
