  2. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    The "local" earth/ground electrode provides "system grounding" [13] at each building where it is installed. The "Grounded" current carrying conductor is the system "neutral". [clarification needed] Australian and New Zealand standards use a modified protective multiple earthing (PME [14]) system called multiple earthed neutral (MEN).

  3. TIA-607-B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIA-607-B

    Following the bonding of telecom infrastructure components, the entire system must be bonded to the building's main ground, which is sometimes also referred to as a grounding electrode system. References

  4. Ring ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_ground

    A halo ground is a type of ring ground that, instead of being installed outside and underground, is installed inside, near the top of a building or structure. The ground reference for all equipment inside the area being protected is separate from the halo.

  5. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

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

    A ground fault protection relay must trip the breaker to protect the circuit before overheating of the resistor occurs. High-resistance grounding (HRG) systems use an NGR to limit the fault current to 25 A or less. They have a continuous rating, and are designed to operate with a single-ground fault.

  6. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

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

    The National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies that the black conductor represent the hot conductor, with significant voltage to earth ground; the white conductor represent the identified or neutral conductor, near ground potential; [11] and the bare/green conductor, the safety grounding conductor not normally used to carry circuit current.

    That creates a system whereby a city can best avoid lawsuits by adopting a single standard set of building code laws. This has led to the NEC becoming the de facto standard set of electrical requirements. [6] A licensed electrician will have spent years of apprenticeship studying and practicing the NEC requirements prior to obtaining their license.

  8. Ufer ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ufer_Ground

    In some areas (like Des Moines, Iowa) Ufer grounds are required for all residential and commercial buildings. [5] The conductivity of the soil usually determines if Ufer grounds are required in any particular area. An Ufer ground of specified minimum dimensions is recognized by the U.S. National Electrical Code as a grounding electrode. [6]

  9. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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).
