Home / Grounding resistance measurement of construction site power distribution box
This Grounding Standard describes factors affecting the ground resistance and the method of measuring ground resistance of Distribution installations. This helps to reduce the potential difference that exists between conductive parts and the earth. Where continuity of service is a high priority, high-resistance grounding can add the safety of a grounded system while minimizing the risk of service interruptions due to grounds. Bonding ‐ The permanent joining of two metallic parts to form an electrically conductive path that ensures electrical continuity and the capacity to safely conduct any current likely to be imposed. Knowledge of the various types of system grounding and performance characteristics is critical when designing or operating an electrical system.
The AC distribution diagram in Figure 2 shows that all the subsystems in the plant – instrumentation, communication, computers and control, and AC power – are connected to a single point ground system.
