Grounds for Grounding: A Handbook from Circuits to Systems (Hardcover)

Gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of grounding theory and application in this new, expanded edition

Grounding design and installation are crucial to ensure the safety and performance of any electrical or electronic system irrespective of size. Successful grounding design requires a thorough familiarity with theory combined with practical experience with real-world systems. Rarely taught in schools due to its complexity, identifying and implementing the appropriate solution to grounding problems is nevertheless a vital skill in the industrial world for any electrical engineer.

In Grounds for Grounding, readers will discover a complete and thorough approach to the topic that blends theory and practice to demonstrate that a few rules apply to many applications. The book provides basic concepts of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) that act as the foundation for understanding grounding theory and its applications. Each avenue of grounding is covered in its own chapter, topics from safety aspects in facilities, lightning, and NEMP to printed circuit board, cable shields, and enclosure grounding, and more.

Grounds for Grounding readers will also find:

• Revised and updated information presented in every chapter
• New chapters on grounding for generators, uninterruptible power sources (UPSs)
• New appendices including a grounding design checklist, grounding documentation content, and grounding verification procedures

Grounds for Grounding is a useful reference for engineers in circuit design, equipment, and systems, as well as power engineers, platform, and facility designers.

在這本新的擴充版中，您將全面了解接地理論和應用的各個方面。

無論大小，接地設計和安裝對於確保任何電氣或電子系統的安全性和性能至關重要。成功的接地設計需要對理論的深入瞭解，並結合對實際系統的實踐經驗。由於其複雜性，這個主題很少在學校中教授，但對於任何電氣工程師來說，識別和實施適當的接地問題解決方案仍然是一項至關重要的技能。

在《接地的基礎》中，讀者將發現一種完整而全面的方法，將理論和實踐相結合，以證明少數規則適用於許多應用。該書介紹了電磁兼容性（EMC）的基本概念，作為理解接地理論及其應用的基礎。每個接地方法都在自己的章節中進行了詳細介紹，包括設施安全、閃電和NEMP、印刷電路板、電纜屏蔽和外殼接地等主題。

《接地的基礎》的讀者還將找到：

- 每個章節中的修訂和更新信息
- 關於發電機和不間斷電源（UPS）的接地的新章節
- 包括接地設計檢查表、接地文件內容和接地驗證程序在內的新附錄

《接地的基礎》對於電路設計、設備和系統的工程師，以及電力工程師、平台和設施設計師來說，是一本有用的參考書。
