Grounds for Grounding

Grounds for Grounding: A Handbook from Circuits to Systems, 2nd Edition, provides a thorough exploration of grounding theory and practical application based on fundamental Electromagnetic Compatibility principles. Written as a single-source engineering reference, this handbook supports circuit design engineers, equipment and systems engineers, and platform designers who develop complex electrical and electronic architectures.

The text covers a spectrum of engineering environments, progressing from component-level circuit layouts to large infrastructure installations. Primary subject areas include printed circuit board grounding, cable shield grounding, and equipment enclosure grounding. The volume also details protection measures for facility safety, lightning strikes, and Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse events.

To support real-world design implementation, this edition adds focused reference tools, including grounding documentation content and grounding verification procedures. Engineering professionals can utilize these practical frameworks when defining documentation requirements, carrying out system evaluations, and ensuring proper compliance across multi-disciplinary engineering projects.
