Investigation and Test of Grounding Method for Electrical Installations

 

ImageThis is the first in a new series we’re starting in which we’ll send you interesting and important documents from Mike Holt’s archives.

 

This paper written by H.G. Ufer in 1961 explores the need for an adequate means for grounding. One which requires very little maintenance and one which does not require connection to the water pipe systems to provide an adequate low resistance ground. The purpose of this paper was to record the development and test of such a grounding method and to suggest its further test.

  • It's a great system, but limited in that it must be installed and inspected ( at least around here) in the time frame between building the forms for the footing and pouring it.

    Getting the foundation people to cooperate has been difficult, especially when the only people who benefit from it is the electricians.

    If the inspectors could accept that , yes, we DID bond to that 20' piece of 5/8ths rebar, HONEST!!! then there wouldn't be a problem & the foundation people would play along.
