Special Forces Command inspects MCB 4 construction at the Con Thien Special Forces camp. Photo released by Seabee PAO Office Washington DC. MCB 4 conducted four tours during the Vietnam War. In December 1965, the battalion flew to Chu Lai, Vietnam. This was to be the first of many important operations performed in Vietnam.
The concrete enclosure also increases the surface area of the connection between the grounding conductor and the surrounding soil, which also helps to reduce the overall impedance of the connection. Ufer's original grounding scheme used copper encased in concrete. However, the high pH of concrete often causes the copper to chip and flake.
Hot is any line or neutral conductor (wire or otherwise) connected with an electrical system that has electric potential relative to electrical ground or line to neutral. Ground is a safety conductor with a low impedance path to earth. It is often called the "ground wire," or safety ground. It is either bare or has green insulation. [1]
The US National Electrical Code permitted the use of the supply neutral wire as the equipment enclosure connection to ground from 1947 to 1996 for ranges (including separate cooktops and ovens) and from 1953 to 1996 for clothes dryers, whether plug-in or permanently fixed, provided that the circuit originated in the main service panel. Normal ...
Undergrounding is more expensive, since the cost of burying cables at transmission voltages is several times greater than overhead power lines, and the life-cycle cost of an underground power cable is two to four times the cost of an overhead power line. Above-ground lines cost around $10 per 1-foot (0.30 m) and underground lines cost in the ...
NMCB 7 was commissioned for a third time on 1 August 1985 aboard Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport, Mississippi under the command of CDR C. David Binning, CEC USNR. The commissioning marked the first time in over 17 years that a new construction battalion had been brought on line.

A ground connection that is missing or of inadequate capacity may not provide the protective functions as intended during a fault in the connected equipment. Extra connections between ground and circuit neutral may result in circulating current in the ground path, stray current introduced in the earth or in a structure, and stray voltage.
