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 ...

AN estimated 58 people lose their life each week as a result of electric shock. In an electrical system, the grounding system is the primary protection against electrical shock hazards. It provides a ...

A separately derived system (SDS) has no direct connection to other sources except through grounding and bonding. Grounding and bonding must be performed at the source, not on the load side, to ...

Transmitting data over long distances is fraught with potential problems. A ground loop can be a source of interference that can induce a noise voltage between the grounds on either end of the ...

A pretty typical diagram for the grounding system for a house is shown here, along with a few of the current carrying conductors commonly called live and neutral. On the far left is the transformer ...

There is one class of signals we have not yet covered, and that is those signals which pass within the unit from one board to another. Typically these are digital control signals or analog levels ...

With the analog cutoff deadline looming, broadcasters are putting the finishing touches on new digital transmitter and translator installations. What better time to review grounding systems to protect ...
