IEEE Releases Updated Green Book™ Standard for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

The IEEE Green Book addresses the problems of system grounding-that is-connection to ground of neutral, of the corner of the delta, or of the midtap of one phase. Also discussed are the advantages and disadvantages of grounded vs. ungrounded systems. The book offers information on how to ground the system, where the system should be grounded, and how to select equipment for the ground of the neutral circuits. Connecting the frames and enclosures of electric apparatus, such as motors, switchgear, transformers, buses, cables, conduits, building frames, and portable equipment, to a ground system is shared.

The IEEE Green Book outlines the fundamentals of making the interconnection of a ground conductor system between electric equipment and the ground rods, water pipes, etc. It deals with the problems of static electricity—how it is generated, what processes may produce it, how it is measured, and what should be done to prevent its generation or to drain the static charges to earth to prevent sparking. Presented are methods for protecting structures against the effects of lightning. Obtaining a low-resistance connection to earth, use of ground rods, connections to water pipes, etc is conveyed. Included is a separate chapter on electronic equipment. Click here to order.
