Pipeline Industry "Grounding Practice and Applications for AC/DC Electrical Distribution Systems," shows how all of the key elements of grounding systems at compressor, storage and metering stations function, and emphasizes practical solutions to common problems. A lab and case histories reinforce the student's ability to solve grounding problems. This 2-day course is designed for those with a working knowledge of both AC and DC power systems.

A high-integrity grounding system is the single most effective means of assuring quality power distribution with a minimum of interference. This practical, detailed look at grounding covers the earth ground electrode system, lightning protection, a full range of both AC and DC grounding systems, data line and instrumentation grounding, ESD and RFI considerations. During the hands-on lab portion of the course, the student will be instructed in the use of specialized grounding test instruments to:

	Participate in an Earth Ground Measurement
	Verify Proper Internal Wiring and Bonding
	Determine the amplitude of Neutral-Ground Noise
	Apply Isolated Ground Techniques

This course is led by an experienced instructor. Our instructors are active in numerous professional organizations including: IEC, IEEE, ANSI, NEMA and UL Advisory. In addition, each student will receive a text specific manual, including charts and graphs, as well as numerous case histories taken from R. O. Associates consulting files which will continue to serve as a valuable reference in the future.

Accredited for 1.6 CEU accreditation through the University of Idaho.
