Resistance Grounding Systems are used in industrial electrical power distribution facilities to limit phase-to-ground fault currents. This training module is intended for new or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot power and auxiliary systems.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the fundamentals, basic principles, and requirements of grounding and bonding.
• Explain the difference between neutral and ground.
• Describe the intent of system grounding and equipment grounding.
• Describe the characteristics of solidly grounded, ungrounded, low-resistance and high-resistance grounding systems.
• Describe the advantages and limitations of various grounding systems.

Prerequisites:

Participants should have basic knowledge of power system components.
