A
grounding
system
safeguards
your
people
from
electric
shock
and
helps
keep
your
equipment
from
being
damaged.
It’s
one
of
the
most
important
segments
of a
plant’s
electrical
power
system—and,
unfortunately,
one
of
the
most
neglected
and
least
understood.
A
properly
grounded
system
reduces
the
possibility
of
voltage
building
up
to
dangerous
levels
on
conductive
surfaces
during
ground-fault
conditions.
If
your
plant
is
struck
by
lightning,
it’s
the
grounding
system
that
takes
the
brunt
of
the
charge
and
dissipates
the
voltage
down
to
safe
levels.
You’ll
want
to
be
sure
your
grounding
system
is
properly
installed
when
you
start
up—and
periodically
tested
to
make
sure
it’s
working
properly
on
an
ongoing
basis.
Look
to
Emerson
for
expertise
during
your
startup
and
for
preventive
maintenance
thereafter
to
ensure
continued
effective
performance
from
your
grounding
system.
