The terms neutral, ground, grounded, and grounding often get confused — sometimes with tragic consequences. So what is the difference? Let’s start with the neutral conductor. It’s not just another ...

High-resistance grounding (HRG) makes a power distribution system safer and more reliable than the alternatives. High-rresistance grounding can limit point-of-fault damage, eliminate transient ...

Ground loops are a common yet often overlooked issue in building electrical systems. While they may seem minor during design or construction, ground loops can significantly impact system performance ...

It has been proposed to add some fairly small and inexpensive resistors in the transformers’ ground connections. The addition of that little bit of resistance would significantly reduce the amount of ...
