GROUNDING PART 6
Self-Assessment This section gives you a chance to see how well you understand the NEC terminology related to grounding. This assessment consists of 5 questions. You will have chance to answer each question, after which you will be told whether your answer was correct or incorrect. If you can answer 4 or more questions correctly, you probably won't have too many problems when you encounter these terms in the code. When the NEC refers to ground - what does it mean? Select an answer, then click the Submit button. The intentional connection made between an electrical circuit or equipment and the earth.si A wire that ensures electrical conductivity between metal parts that are required to be electrically connected. A conductor embedded in the earth.

What is a bonding jumper? Select an answer, then click the Submit button. The intentional connection made between an electrical circuit or equipment and the earth. The mechanical joining of metal parts to form an electrically continuous, conductive path that is able to carry any current likely to be imposed on it. A reliable conductor to ensure the required electrical conductivity between metal parts that are required to be electrically connected. si Match each term to its definition by dragging each term to the space in front of its definition.

Grounded Conductor Grounding Electrode Conductor Equipment Grounding Conductor The correct answers are shown below. Effective Grounding Path Impedance Grounded Solidly Grounded Where the electrically conductive fault current path is permanent and electrically continuous, with the capacity to carry the maximum fault current likely to be imposed, but with low enough impedance to facilitate operation of an overcurrent device. Where a grounding impedance device, such as a resistor, in the electrical path, limits ground-fault current to a low value. Where the grounded conductor is grounded without inserting a resistor or impedance device in the electrical current path. A conductor of a system or circuit that is intentionally electrically connected to ground. The conductor used to connect the grounding electrode or grounding electrode system to the grounded conductor at the service equipment or at the source of a separately derived system. The conductor used to connect the noncurrent-carrying parts of equipment to the system grounded conductor and the grounding electrode system at the service equipment or source of a separately derived system.

Solidly Grounded

Where the electrically conductive fault current path is permanent and electrically continuous, with the capacity to carry the maximum fault current likely to be imposed, but with low enough impedance to facilitate operation of an overcurrent device. Where a grounding impedance device, such as a resistor, in the electrical path, limits ground-fault current to a low value. Where the grounded conductor is grounded without inserting a resistor or impedance device in the electrical current path.
