One of the most important AND least understood sections of the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code is the section on Electrical Grounding and Bonding.
This grounding course is founded on the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code and is designed to give you the correct information you need to design, install and maintain effective electrical grounding systems in industrial, commercial and institutional power systems.
It has been determined that more than 70 per cent of all electrical problems in industrial, commercial and institutional power systems are due to poor grounding, and bonding errors. Without proper electrical grounding and bonding, sensitive electronic equipment is subjected to destruction of data, erratic equipment operation, and catastrophic damage. This electrical grounding and bonding training course will give participants a comprehensive understanding of practical applications of proper grounding and bonding practices that will comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
Increase Your Knowledge
- Focus on specific electrical grounding and bonding problems and consequences relating to fires, safety of personnel, and damage to equipment
- Participate in a discussion of electrical grounding and bonding problems and how to overcome or avoid them
- Gain a firm foundation of knowledge for your next project involving electrical grounding and bonding
- Develop your knowledge of theory and practice
Learn About
- The requirements of the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code
- Specific grounding problems, installations and 2009 Canadian Electrical Code requirements
- Testing procedures for industrial, commercial and institutional electric power grounding systems
- Practical solutions to grounding problems
After Attending, You Will
- Work more safely and efficiently
- Have a better understanding of the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code
- Make fewer installation mistakes and pass inspections more easily
- Be more aware of the benefits of good grounding and bonding systems
- Be better prepared to design your next grounding and bonding system
Without good grounding and bonding, sensitive electronic equipment is subjected to destruction of data, erratic equipment operation, and catastrophic damage. Allen G.W. Segall (IBM Study) determined that 88.5% of all disturbances are caused by transient overvoltage and, therefore, it is of critical importance to know the "state-of-the-art" protection technologies.
Inductive effects of lighting including transients, wiring errors, and code violations cause damages estimated at about $20 billion dollars in the US and Canada each year, based on the following considerations: risk to personnel, equipment replacement cost, repairs cost, and destroyed data.
The economics: Loss of sales, Loss of production, Loss of work in progress.
The knowledge acquired in this course will enable the participant to apply correct electrical installation procedures according to the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code, effective cabling and state-of-the-art technologies available for the protection of equipment and circuits. A code violation poses hazards to human life and equipment.
Other considerations:
A system shut-down can cause an industrial company thousands of dollars per hour. To a petrochemical company, an unplanned shut-down can cost millions of dollars.
With the practical application of the 2009 Canadian Electrical Code and electrical grounding practices, and minimization of probabilities of mis-operation or loss of equipment with all its collateral damage, the cost of the course will be amortized many times over.
Other considerations are Warranties and Guarantees. For insurance validation, these warranties/guarantees are based on compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code (covered in this course).
