Abstract: | One of the prime functions of equipment grounding is for safety to life and property. In designing an industrial power system that obtains any energy from a utility with a high ground fault current capability, it may be advisable to isolate the industrial and utility ground grids for safety reasons. A review of present practices as well as suggested modifications with an actual design example is presented. |
