But above all\, it plays an essential r ole in personnel safety and equipment protection. In this regard\, enginee rs should have a good understanding of grounding and bonding issues and pr actical solutions to the most common problems. Participants will gain a ge neral understanding of grounding and bonding methods\, common issues and p ractical solutions:\n\n- Understand the basic principles of grounding and bonding of electrical systems and equipment\n- Know the applicable standar ds and design methods\n- Know how to measure and improve an existing groun ding and bonding system\n- Apply sound grounding and bonding techniques in designing new installations\n\n"Fine Print"\n\n- The webinar is free for active IEEE members.\n- There is a $5 registration fee for people who are not active IEEE members.\n\n- The fee must be paid in advance through the registration process below (credit card through PayPal) in order to receiv e the link to the webinar.\n- Upon successful payment of the fee\, you wil l receive 2 emails: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org with title "IEEE vToo ls Reservation Confirmation\," and a second from service@intl.paypal.com w ith title "Your payment to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Eng ineers\, Inc." Both emails are required to ensure your payment was success fully processed.\n- Incomplete non-member registrations (payment not recei ved) will be deleted.\n- A link to the WebEx registration will be sent to the email address you provided during this vTools registration one day bef ore the event (on March 09)\, by "IEEE Northern Alberta".
