Exposure of a human body to touch and step voltages and methods to deal with these are also covered. Grounding and ground fault protection schemes are described in detail with illustrations to help an engineer to select the most appropriate grounding method and ground fault protection scheme for a machine or system.

Scattering power, relative Black ground method... 

Black-Ground Method. The relative scattering power is determined from the tristimulus values Y of the pigmented medium applied in various film thicknesses to black substrates. Compared with the gray paste method, the black-ground method has the advantage that it is not restricted to any particular test medium. Apparatus spectrophotometer or tristimulus colorimeter. 

On the other hand, when a fault to ground occurs on 13.8 kV, the system can be "floating" as described in section 2.3, in this case, the system is "ungrounded". The following describes each of the grounding methods used in the electrical system of the petrochemical pants. 

Table 1. Characteristics of the electrical system with several grounding methods currently used in petrochemical plants.

Petrcxzhemical plants with 13.8 kV generators use low-resistance neutral grounding method at just one generator. The ground connection through a resistance bank has a value of 8 to... 

Resonance overvoltages can be avoided by the use of a proper grounding method. All energy sources, generator and transformer, must be grounded. It is necessary to consider the protection scheme and the interconnection s characteristics of the electrical power equipments to avoid failures. 

Maintenance and Environmental Conditions. Receptacles must be designed fortheir locations. For example, when one installs a receptacle in a damp or wet location, special grounding methods must be used to prevent accidental contact with water. Proper equipment should be used for those receptacles with special voltages such as air conditioners and clothes dryers. 

Circular inhomogeneities (35 mm) made up of polypropylene (PP) cylinders are placed at different electrode positions (Figures 30.13a, 30.14a, 30.15a, and 30.16a) and the RMS potentials are measured on the surface electrodes with opposite and common-ground methods by using W-DDTS based DAS. Boundary data profiles of the phantoms shown in Figures 30.14b, 30.15b, and 30.16b. For all the phantoms, it is observed that the maximum potential of the boundary data for a phantom with inhomogeneity placed near the Nth...
