Electrical Grounding Handbook

As North America's electrical industry continues to modernize and introduce sensitive electronic equipment into operations, power quality and grounding have become essential in system design, engineering and maintenance considerations. Thishandbook is the 5th in a series of handbooks designed to update electrical engineering and maintenance personnel on the latest information in this important subject. This Handbook discusses, in practical terms, all aspects of power quality and grounding issues and how to detect, treat and resolve these complicated, costly and potentially damaging threats to electrical systems.

General Definition:
Power quality is a term used to discuss events on electric power grids that can damage or disrupt sensisitive electronic devices. It is often useful to think of it as a compatibility problem: is the equipment connected to the grid compatible with the events on the grid, and is the electricity delivered by the grid, including the events, compatible with the equipment that is connected? Compatibility problems always have at least two solutions: in this case, either clean up electricity, or make the equipment tougher. Ideally electricity would be supplied as a sine wave with the amplitude and frequency given by national standards (in the case of mains) or system specifications (in the case of a power feed not directly attached to the mains) with an impedance of zero ohms at all frequencies.
