Exposed ground connections to power generation and distribution equipment shall be made using copper compression ground fittings or compression lugs bolted to the equipment. Splices and taps of ground conductors No. Electric equipment shall be free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious. Abstract: The design, installation, and protection of wire and cable systems in substations are covered in this guide, with the objective of minimizing cable failures and their consequences.

Scope This document covers many of the considerations in the installation and maintenance of copper. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this comprehensive guide will give you practical insights into proper grounding techniques, with a special focus on how selecting quality materials from a reliable building material supplier impacts your entire system's safety and longevity. Both the Occupa-tional Safety and Health. The grounding system provides a low-impedance path for fault current and limits the voltage rise on the normally non-current-carrying metallic components of the electrical distribution system.
