National Electrical Code Article 250 can be one of the most confusing parts of the NEC.  This class teaches you the fundamentals of the grounding and bonding requirements based on the National Electrical for electrical power systems.  Learn about the grounding electrode system, equipment grounding, bonding jumpers and more.  Understand why substations have ground grids to minimize touch and step potential.  See what the requirements are for separately derived systems and how incorrect grounding can lead to ground loops which can create hazardous conditions.  Many power quality issues can be traced to incorrect grounding.  IEEE Standard 1100 defines requirements for grounding and bonding sensitive electronic equipment.  Power Quality is a broad term used to describe the health of a power system’s voltage and current. Spikes, sags, surges, noise and other events can disrupt the operation of critical systems. Many power quality problems can be attributed to improper or incorrect grounding.

In this, Jim shows you the correct grounding and bonding requirements to minimize or reduce power quality problems as well as how to identify and solve common power quality problems.

Jim has developed this course based on over 30 years of extensive experience in conducting numerous power quality studies for industrial, commercial and utility power systems.
