Practical Earthing (Grounding), Bonding, Lightning and Surge Protection

Overview

This Practical Earthing (Grounding), Bonding, Lightning and Surge Protection course at IDC Technologies is designed to demystify the subject of earthing and presents the subject in a clear, straightforward manner. Installation, testing and inspection procedures for industrial and commercial power systems will be examined in detail. 

Few topics generate as much controversy and argument as that of earthing and the associated topics of surge protection, shielding and lightning of electrical and electronic systems. 

Poor earthing practice can be the cause of continual and intermittent difficult-to-diagnose problems in a facility.

Essentially this course is broken down into earthing, shielding and surge protection for both power and electronics systems. Earthing and surge protection for telecommunications and IT systems are examined in detail. Finally, the impact of lightning is examined and simple techniques for minimizing its impact are described.
