Special Ground Connection On Equipment and Metal Structures
General Fundamentals
• Bonding
• Lightning Protection
Impedance (Z)
• The total opposition to current an AC circuit.
• Comprised of three components namely the
Inductive Reactance (XL), Capacitive Reactance
(XC), and the Resistance (R) added together
vectorially
• Frequency-dependent – changes in magnitude as
frequency changes
Inductive Reactance (XL) = 2πFL
• Where F = frequency (Hz); L = inductance (Henry)
• Directly proportional to frequency – increases in
magnitude while frequency increases
