Methods of Grounding  Grounding can be divided into two areas: system grounding and equipment grounding.  These two areas are kept separate from each other except at the point where they receive their source of power, such as at the service equipment or at a separately derived system.  Grounding is the intentional connection of a currentcarrying conductor to ground or something that serves in place of ground.  In most instances, this connection is made at the supply source, such as a transformer, and at the main service disconnecting means of the premises using the energy. Roel B. Calano

Methods of Grounding  There are three basic reasons for grounding:  To limit the voltages caused by lightning or by accidental contact of the supply conductors with conductors of higher voltage  To stabilize the voltage under normal operating conditions (which maintains the voltage at one level relative to ground, so that any equipment connected to the system will be subject only to that potential difference)  To facilitate the operation of overcurrent devices, such as fuses, circuit breakers, or relays, under ground-fault conditions Roel B. Calano

Grounding System On AC premises wiring systems, the conductor to be grounded shall be as specified in the following: 1. Single-phase, 2-wire — one conductor 2 .Single-phase, 3-wire — the neutral conductor 3. Multiphase systems having one wire common to all phases — the common conductor 4. Multiphase systems where one phase is grounded — one phase conductor 5. Multiphase systems in which one phase is used as in 2 — the neutral conductor

Electrical System Protection – Basic Components  Voltage transformers and current transformers: To monitor and give accurate feedback about the healthiness of a system.  Relays: To convert the signals from the monitoring devices, and give instructions to open a circuit under faulty conditions or to give alarms when the equipment being protected, is approaching towards possible destruction.  Fuses: Self-destructing to save the downstream equipment being protected.

Roel B. Calano

Electrical System Protection – Basic Components  Circuit breakers: These are used to make circuits carrying enormous currents, and also to break the circuit carrying the fault currents for a few cycles based on feedback from the relays.  DC batteries: These give uninterrupted power source to the relays and breakers that is independent of the main power source being protected

Cable Wiring Methods and Materials  Flat Conductor Cable (FCC) - Consists of three or more flat copper conductor placed edge to edge & separated and enclose within an insulating assembly. Used for general purpose and appliance branch circuits and for individual branch circuits specifically in hard, smooth, continuous floor surfaces specially for under carpet (up to 914 mm2) wiring to floor outlets (floor mounted type FCC).  Medium Voltage Cables (MV) - single or multi-conductor solid dielectric insulated cable rated at 2,001 or higher. Used for power system up to 35,000 volts nominal, in wet or dry locations, in raceway, cable trays.  Integrated Gas Spacer Cable (IGS) - A factory assembled cable of one or more conductors, each individually insulated and enclosed in a loose fit nonmetallic flexible conduit rated 0 – 600 V.

Cable Wiring Methods and Materials  Integrated Gas Spacer Cable (IGS) - A cable and conduit system for underground use, including direct burial in the earth, as service-entrance conductors or as feeder or branch circuit conductors advantages include low material and installation cost, eliminate field pulling or cables into conduit and eliminates the cost of assembly of conduit in the field. Uses SF6 (sulfuric hexafluoride gas) insulation.

Raceway Methods and Materials  Raceways - The raceways wiring accessories or channels designed for holding wires cables, or busbars which are either made of metal or any insulating material. They provided mechanical protection to conductors while keeping them accessible for wiring changes: conduits connectors, conduit, coupling, clamps, hangers etc. cable trays, bus metal raceway, non-metal raceways.  Conduits - Either pipes or tubing, which are either flexible or rigid for electric wires. The most common electrical raceways.  Fittings - Accessories such as locknuts, bushing couplers, adapters nipples and connectors or other part wiring system that is intended primarily to perform a mechanical rather than function.  Connectors - A metal sleeve, usually made of copper, that is slipped over and secure to the butted ends conductors in making a joint. Also called a splicing sleeve. Roel B. Calano

Raceway Methods and Materials  Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) - A metal raceway of circular cross-section with integral or associated couplings, connectors and fittings approved for the installation of electrical conductors has wall thickness less than rigid metal conduit but greater than EMT used in all atmospheric conditions and occupancies, or areas subject to severe corrosive influences when protected by corrosion protection  Rigid Metal Conduit - Similar to that of IMC and when installed in concrete or in contact with coil, it does not generally require supplementary corrosion protection unless subject to severe corrosive influences  Rigid Non-metallic Conduit - Resistant to moisture and chemical atmospheres underground materials, fiber, soapstone, rigid polvinyl chloride (PVC), fiberglass, epoxy, and high density polyethylene, above ground (PVC) Roel B. Calano

Raceway Methods and Materials  Electrical Metallic Tubing - General purpose raceway of the same nature as rigid metal conduit and IMC used for both exposed and concealed work where it will not be subjected to severe physical damage or (unless suitably protected) to corrosive agents  Flexible Metallic Tubing - Circular in cross-section, flexible, metallic and liquidtight without a nonmetallic jacket used in dry locations, in accessible locations when protected from physical damage or concealed such as above suspended ceilings and branch circuits  Surface Metal Raceway - Used for exposed wiring where the possibility of severe physical damage is not a problem restricted to dry locations and voltages under 300 volts its principal use is for rewiring or extending existing electrical system.

Raceway Methods and Materials  Under Floor Raceways - Called under floor ducts, consist of separate duct system buried in the concrete floor or flush with surface of the floor it come complete with junction boxes and fittings to provide access along the length of the duct for receptacles and telephone outlets may consists of single, double, or triple ducts run parallel to provide telephone signal and power raceways.  Wire ways - Ducts with square or rectangular cross-section made of sheet metal and the standard length of each ducts is 10 feet where the wiring is readily accessible through cover plates, which make up one of the walls of the ducts, is 10 feet cover plates may be hinged or unhinged, screwed in place, or merely snapped into place cannot be buried, concealed in walls or exposed to corrosives atmosphere for in general they are mounted exposed outdoors and may carry systems rated at 600 volts.

Raceway Methods and Materials  Cellular Floor Raceways - Maybe metal or concrete, where cells of the cellular floor system is assigned with particular usage for power or signal wiring, and a header ducts tap into the cells and a carry the wiring to the necessary panel board or boxes.  Busways - An approved completely assembled metal troughing and fitting when contain bare conductors intended for use as feeders, the conductors being suitably supported of insulators. Factory made systems of copper of aluminum bars, rods, or tubes designed to carry heavy currents from 50 to 6,000 amp conductors can be solid bars, square or rectangular hollow tube hollow ovals or solid 1 – beams. Can be mounted horizontally or vertically and can be also used as service entrance feeders.

Raceway Methods and Materials  Continuous plug in Busways - used to serve equipment that may be relocated periodically, such as in wood working shops. Have regularly spaced openings that permitted plugging of switches or circuit breakers and conduit or flexible cable is then run from devices to the equipment being served.  Trolley Busways - Permits travelling equipment to be connected to a power source a rolling power takeoff in contact with the busways conductors as the equipment moves, the trolley contact on the conductor.  Cablebus - An approved assembly of insulated conductors with fittings and conductor terminations in a completely enclosed, ventilated protective metal housing
