(IEEE Emerald Book) IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment

 

The purpose of the IEEE Emerald Book is to recommend design, installation, and maintenance practices for powering and grounding sensitive equipment in commercial and industrial facilities. The main objective is to provide a consensus of recommended practices in an area where, previously, conflicting information and confusion have dominated.

Rather than focusing only on electronic equipment, various basic aspects of grounding are included in the IEEE Emerald Book. Since grounding affects power quality, issues involving power quality are also discussed. Different measurement instruments that help to diagnose problems related to sensitive equipment are shown. In addition, practical analyses of different sites, as well as some case histories, are also given in this book.

 

The IEEE Emerald Book T presents a collection of consensus best practices for the powering and grounding of electronic equipment used in commercial and industrial applications. The main objective is to provide consensus recommended practices in an area where conflicting information and conflicting design philosophies have dominated. The recommended practices described are intended to enhance equipment performance while maintaining a safe installation. A description of the nature and origin of power disturbances is provided, followed by theory on the various parameters that impact power quality. Information on quantifying and resolving power and grounding related concerns using measurement and diagnostic instrumentation and standardized investigative procedures are included. Recommended power protection equipment and wiring and grounding system design practices are presented. Information on telecommunications system power protection as well as grounding, industrial system grounding, and noise control is included. Finally a selection of case studies are presented to support the recommended practices presented throughout the book.
