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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Nolin Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation is telling Fort Knox residents that the green utility boxes found throughout the housing areas are designed for safety, but are not for children to ...
