System Earthing and Protective Earthing In Utilities and Industrial Electrical Networks

Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500

Overview

Few topics generate as much controversy and argument as that of grounding or earthling as it is called in some countries and the associated topics of lighting and surge protection of electrical and electronics systems. Any engineering dealing with power supply networks needs to understand the basic principles of grounding system design and its role in ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. A correct understanding of the basic principles involved will help him/her to avoid mistakes in grounding system design, mistakes that could lead to expensive failures and long downtime.
