IEEE NCS PES/IAS Webinar on Power System Grounding and Bonding

#Power #Systems #Grounding #and #Bonding

 Program for Thursday, March 10th, 2022:

• Team Introductions (5min)
• Presentation (70min)
• Q&A (15min) 

Abstract

Grounding and bonding techniques are of the upmost importance in electrical system performance and overall cost. But above all, it plays an essential role in personnel safety and equipment protection. In this regard, engineers should have a good understanding of grounding and bonding issues and practical solutions to the most common problems. Participants will gain a general understanding of grounding and bonding methods, common issues and practical solutions:

• Understand the basic principles of grounding and bonding of electrical systems and equipment
• Know the applicable standards and design methods
• Know how to measure and improve an existing grounding and bonding system
• Apply sound grounding and bonding techniques in designing new installations
