Grounding Grounding creates a low-resistance path from a tool to the earth to disperse unwanted current.

Grounding is a secondary method of preventing electrical shock. Grounded electrical systems are usually connected to a grounding rod that is placed 6-8 feet deep into the earth. Grounded - connected to earth or to some conducting body that serves in place of the earth. Grounded, effectively (Over 600 volts, nominal.) Permanently connected to earth through a ground connection of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient ampacity that ground fault current which may occur cannot build up to voltages dangerous to personnel. Grounded conductor. A system or circuit conductor that is intentionally grounded. Grounding conductor. A conductor used to connect equipment or the grounded circuit of a wiring system to a grounding electrode or electrodes.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
