Abstract
Safety and reliability of electric distribution systems depend on many factors, including proper grounding. Correct functioning of ground fault relays depends on carefully designed busway housings and conduit connections. Busway housings are recommended as the preferred equipment grounding means because they achieve a low voltage drop value with little danger of electric shock. Eleven specific suggestions are made in an effort to improve the safety and reliability of low-voltage systems.
