Unfortunately, most power engineers are not familiar with the electric safety practices governing site works or grounding practices of dwellings, hospitals, and industries. This book provides the knowledge and analysis they need to be versed on electric safety and, therefore, effectively transfer the skills to their field workers. It includes several case studies from real events and examples showing that variations in implementing electric safety procedures can create sites with various safety levels. This practical book can be used worldwide since electric safety codes are very similar everywhere.
