Overview
What you will learn
By taking the Practical Earthing (Grounding), Bonding, Lightning and Surge Protection course offered by IDC Technologies , you will learn:
- Apply good earthing practice to your next installation
- Detail the applicable national standards
- Troubleshoot and fix earthing and surge problems
- Design, install and test an effective earthing system for electronic equipment
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.
This course looks at these issues from a fresh yet practical perspective and enables you to reduce expensive down time on your plant and equipment to a minimum through correct application of these principles.
Installation, testing and inspection procedures for industrial and commercial power systems will be examined in detail. 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.
