Grounding Connections
This chapter sheds light on the following: TT system (earthed neutral), automatic disconnection for TT system, TN system (exposed conductive parts connected to the neutral), TN-C system, TN-S system- TN-C-S system, IT system (isolated or impedance-earthed neutral), IT system (impedance-earthed neutral), grounding transformer connection and design, grounding of industrial and commercial generators, Zigzag grounding transformer earthed systems (solid grounding, resistance grounding, reactance grounding, resonant grounding (ground-fault neutralizer), location of system grounding points selection and grounding locations specified by the NEC and multiple power sources. The chapter contains also the different methods used in determining the levels of short circuit current. It contains also details about the grounding through resistances for transformers and generators and reactances for overhead transmission lines.
