Do you know the difference between a grounding electrode and a grounding conductor? It seems simple, but many people have this doubt and cannot differentiate between a grounding electrode and a grounding conductor. If I ask you if the grounding rod is a grounding electrode, what answer would you give me? If you answered YES - I'm sorry to inform you but you're wrong, the rod alone is not a grounding electrode. But rest assured that we will explain everything below. A grounding scheme is divided into 3 parts: 1) Protective conductor; 2) Grounding conductor; 3) Grounding electrode. PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR: Conductor that leaves the distribution panel (QGBT, QDC, ETC.) and goes to the equipment masses. The cable that goes from the BEP to the distribution panel (QGBT, QDC, ETC.) can also be considered a protective conductor. GROUNDING CONDUCTOR: The grounding conductor is the cable that goes from the grounding electrode to the BEP. GROUNDING ELECTRODE: Set of cables, rods, connectors, buried in the ground satisfying the ring or the set of buried equipment that makes up the grounding. The set of structures (rebar, foundations, hardware) of a building in the case of structural grounding is also a grounding electrode. In short, everything that is underground constitutes the grounding electrode. A rod is part of the grounding electrode formed by a larger set of components. Saying that the rod in isolation is a grounding electrode or that the entire rod is a grounding electrode is not the correct way to name the components of a grounding scheme. We must always analyze the general context. But you must be wondering: Why do I need to know this? Knowing the correct terms is the best way to analyze and interpret the recommendations of NBR-5410 and following NBR-5410 is the best way to ensure a correct and safe installation for your customers. I hope you enjoyed this video and see you next time. ???? Stay tuned for #electricity ???? __________________________________________________ ????
