  2. Shielded cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable

    The best way to wire shielded cables for screening is to ground the shield at both ends of the cable. [6] Traditionally there existed a rule of thumb to ground only the source end of the shield to avoid ground loops. Best practice is to ground at both ends, but there is a possibility of ground loops.

  3. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    Electrical installations. An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipments conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.

  4. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    The "protective earth" (PE) safety ground wires in AC utility building wiring were not designed for, and cannot be used as an adequate substitute for an RF ground. The long utility ground wires have high impedance at certain frequencies. In the case of a transmitter, the RF current flowing through the ground wires can radiate radio frequency ...

  5. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    Ground and neutral. A shorting bar connecting ground and neutral in Swiss industrial building (outlined in red). A hunk of copper is visible that is designed to be easily connected or disconnected from its place between two screws, rated for 600 A (as stamped on it). We also see the thick wires in standard colors (two yellow/green ground and ...

  6. Floating ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_ground

    Electrical equipment may be designed with a floating ground for one of several reasons. One is safety. For example, a low-voltage DC power supply, such as a mobile phone charger, is connected to the mains through a transformer of one type or another, and there is no direct electrical connection between the current return path on the low-voltage side and physical ground (earth).

  7. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

    e. Electrical wiring in North America follows the regulations and standards applicable at the installation location. It is also designed to provide proper function, and is also influenced by history and traditions of the location installation. The US National Electrical Code is applicable to many areas in the US where state, county or local ...

  8. Underground power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    Underground power line. A former pylon transformer south of Markgröningen, Germany. Today, the pylon carries only a switch fed by two underground cables. An underground power line provides electrical power with underground cables. Compared to overhead power lines, underground lines have lower risk of starting a wildfire and reduce the risk of ...

  9. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. Overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires situated over rail tracks. Feeder stations at regular intervals along the overhead line supply power from the high-voltage grid.
