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 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 ...

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 ...

First, what's a subpanel? In my words, a subpanel is an electrical panel wired downstream from the Service Equipment, which is more commonly known as the main panel. For a lengthy discussion on the ...
