The primary reason for the use of isolated grounds (IG) is to provide a noise-free ground return, separate from the equipment grounding (EG) return. The EG circuit includes all of the metal conduit, outlet boxes, and metal enclosures that contain the wiring and must be grounded to provide a safe return path in case of fault currents.
Sometimes the fittings are considered sufficiently conductive to bond (electrically unite) the metal conduit to a metal junction box (thus sharing the box's ground connection); other times, grounding bushings are used which have bonding jumpers from the bushing to a grounding screw on the box.
The earliest bushing designs use porcelain for both indoor and outdoor applications. Porcelain was originally used due to its properties of being impervious to moisture once sealed by fired glaze, and low manufacturing cost. The main disadvantage with porcelain is that its small value of linear expansion has to be accommodated by using flexible ...
The Home Depot offers a similar match-plus-10-percent policy. Both retailers have exclusions to these price-matching guarantees, so it's important to read the fine print in the links above. 4.
While the national wiring regulations for buildings of many countries follow the IEC 60364 terminology, in North America (United States and Canada), the term "equipment grounding conductor" refers to equipment grounds and ground wires on branch circuits, and "grounding electrode conductor" is used for conductors bonding an earth/ground rod ...
Trump used his considerable social media presence to make extrajudicial comments—sometimes of a threatening nature—about the case, and the Office was forced to pursue litigation to preserve ...
A 30-year-old woman finds herself seeking support on Reddit after her brother asked her to allow his emotional support goat, Clover, to stay at her home — and she refused his request.
The center tap is not distributed to the equipment and no neutral conductor is used. These cases generally use a grounding conductor which is separated from the safety grounding conductor specifically for the purposes of noise and "hum" reduction. Another specialized distribution system was formerly specified in patient care areas of hospitals.
