Data quality and grounding

Proper application of grounding systems, signal isolation, electrical safety, and power quality are key to the successful installation and operation of any electrical and data system, whether in a building or a plant. This paper necessitates an effective data quality and grounding design that considers the neutral, power grounding, bonding, shielding, and transient protection. With consistent design, installation, and maintenance of the grounding system, noise disturbances can be controlled.
