Title: Identify characteristics of grounding systems.
Course: Electricity II (17102-II) > Section: Identifying and Installing Grounding Systems and Transformers

Identification should be based on the NEC, and should include

- explaining the purpose of grounding
- distinguishing between a short circuit and a ground fault
- defining a grounded circuit
- explaining the requirements for physical protection of the grounding electrode conductor
- defining made electrodes
- explaining the use of a grounding electrode system
- explaining the use of a main bonding jumper
- distinguishing between grounding and bonding
- explaining the purpose of the grounded conductor
- explaining the requirements for grounding more than one building
- explaining the requirements for grounding subpanels
- grounding the secondary side of the transformer.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Which article in the NEC includes grounding systems?
- What is the definition of ground?
- What is a man-made
- grounding system?
- Why is grounding important?
- What is the difference between grounded and grounding?
