Book Description

Always controversial and mysterious, grounding has puzzled experts and caused non-experts to quake. IAEI has brought grounding down to earth in this updated book; and through the use of examples and detailed illustrations, the theory of grounding and bonding are set forth clearly, allowing you to quickly and easily master the subject. Step-by-step instructions for reducing hazards through design and installation of grounding in electrical distribution systems are given. Also covered are requirements for information technology equipment, limited energy and voice/data/video (VDV), neon signs and outline lighting, and other systems. Tables, charts, and formulas provide information on grounding electrode conductors and more.

Happy New Year!!!

What other books, websites, or videos would you recommend for grounding/bonding information

Thanks Pierre! The same to you!

Phil Simmons wrote a new Grounding 2005 book, and the earlier grounding book by Fred Hartwell is another.

I will check my library. I believe Mike Holt’s Grounding book is also available.

I have original copies of articles written by Eustace Soares, he was the UL person who made many recommendations that were implemented in the grounding articles in NFPA documents

Pierre,

Mike has a great book on it as well. If you do classes on it he also has a wonderful Power Point presentation that goes along with the book as well, but that costs extra…but well worth the money.
