DESCRIPTION:Concrete encased electrodes for grounding electrical power syst
 ems\, also called Ufer grounds\, are highly effective grounding systems wh
 en installed correctly. James will explain what constitutes a Ufer ground 
 and how one can be easily constructed in accordance with the IEEE Standard
  142-2007 (the Green Book) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). He will
  also explain what common errors and myths surround Ufer grounds as well a
 s an error in the IEEE Green Book\, and errors in interpreting the NEC. Ja
 mes will also explain how Ufer grounds are essential to effective lightnin
 g protection systems. James’ background as an experienced construction e
 lectrician and a B.S. Civil Engineer makes him uniquely qualified to expla
 in civil/structural concepts and practices\, and how these are relevant to
  Electrical Engineers.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Hamilton PES Chapter\, and
  other PES Chapters in R7 \n\nSpeaker(s): James J. Mercier\, \n\nVirtual:
