All Code references are based on the 2005 NEC. The grounding and bonding requirements in this column apply to solidly grounded systems that operate at not more than 600V, such as 120/240V, 120/208V, ...
The grounded conductor (white) is terminated in the panelboard on the grounded busbar. The green screw is the main bonding jumper connecting the grounded busbar to the enclosure. A threaded hub (upper ...
The impedance of the ground conductor can be seen as the pathway that a faulted current will have to take to reach the earth ground system. When insulation fails, a short circuit occurs.
This installation used a grounding method developed in the 1940s by Underwriters Laboratories engineer Herbert G. Ufer; the method bears his name. Ufer grounding consists of attaching the grounding ...
This grounding conductor is permitted to pass through one or more sub-panels without connection to the panel board grounding terminal as permitted in Section 384-2010.
