Do You Understand the CEC and IEEE Industry Standards On Electrical Grounding ? Register For Our Training!
Electrical Grounding Code defines NEC-compliant earthing and bonding practices, ensuring a low-impedance fault-current path via grounding electrodes, conductor sizing, and equipotential bonding for safety, lightning and surge protection, GFCI coordination, and IEEE-standardized compliance.
What Is Electrical Grounding Code?
Defines NEC rules for earthing, bonding, and low-impedance fault paths to protect people and equipment.
✅ Follows NEC Articles 250, 110, and 285 for grounding and bonding
✅ Ensures low-impedance fault-return path via electrodes and bonding jumpers
✅ Specifies conductor sizing, GEC routing, testing, and documentation
Our Electrical Grounding Training course provides not only information on the Canadian Electrical Code “minimum safety requirements” but also provides the requirements of the “Industry Standards” needed for the proper operation of equipment and its protection against “Electrical Noise”, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). For a concise comparison of CSA and NEC grounding provisions, consult this grounding and bonding guide to see how our training aligns with current codes.
Static electricity and the buildup of static charges are major concerns in many installations such as data processing centers, semiconductor facilities, and many hazardous (classified) locations.
If you're new to the fundamentals, this electrical grounding primer explains how proper earthing mitigates static risk in sensitive facilities.
Because sources of ignition are a primary concern in explosive atmospheres, a good Grounding and Bonding systems are necessary for safety of persons and avoid explosions and to provide a more enhanced protection system of handling static electricity in hazardous locations. Additional context on the interplay of these methods is covered in our grounding and bonding resource for hazardous locations.
Our training course will provide the requirements that apply to more than one of the overall grounding system conductors, such as the Grounded Conductor and, Grounding conductor. Our training will provide the type, use, purpose, installation and size of each conductor. It also provide the information on how properly design an “Electrical Grounding System”. In particular, details on the grounding electrode conductor can help with sizing and installation decisions.
The Electricity Forum has organized a series of Electrical Grounding courses across Canada to help engineers, superintendents and electrical foremen better understand the changes that are taking place.
To deepen conceptual understanding, this explanatory article connects grounding theory to real-world practices covered in class.
