Industrial Electrical Technician Courses
Grounding and Bonding
This lecture course is designed to simplify the subject of grounding, and presents the subject in a clear, understandable manner. Students learn about grounding requirements as they relate to articles of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Installation, testing and inspection procedures for industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential power systems are covered along with rules to minimize the risk of electricity as a source of electric shock, and as an ignition source of fires and explosions.
