Wiring Schemes and Grounding

A Nuclear facility rely on standardized wiring schemes to gives both single phase and three-phase power distribution systems and protective grounds to insure safe operation.

Introduction

Various advisory boards exist to insure the standardization of electrical installations within accordance along with accepted designs and safe practices. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is two advisory boards which have published numerous standards. These standards are utilized through the Department of Energy and the nuclear industry. Therefore, for a day-to-day practical guide for noncritical installations, the recognized guide is the NEC (National Electrical Code Handbook), published through the National Fire Protection Association and endorsed through ANSI. A NEC Handbook is the main basic source of much of the material presented in this lesson and might serve as a ready reference for specific questions not covered in this fundamental discussion.
