SUMMARY:Webinar - Practical Instruction on Ufer Grounds
DESCRIPTION:Concrete encased electrodes for grounding electrical power systems\, also called Ufer grounds\, are highly effective grounding systems when installed correctly. James will explain what constitutes a Ufer ground and how one can be easily constructed in accordance with the IEEE Standard 142-2007 (the Green Book) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). He will also explain what common errors and myths surround Ufer grounds as well as an error in the IEEE Green Book\, and errors in interpreting the NEC. James will also explain how Ufer grounds are essential to effective lightning protection systems. James’ background as an experienced construction electrician and a B.S. Civil Engineer makes him uniquely qualified to explain civil/structural concepts and practices\, and how these are relevant to Electrical Engineers.  Co-sponsored by: IEEE Hamilton PES Chapter\, and other PES Chapters in R7   Speaker(s): James J. Mercier\,   Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/450987
