In grounded systems, you always connect equipment-grounding conductors to the system grounded conductor to provide a low impedance path for fault current. This allows the operation of overcurrent devices under ground-fault conditions. When implementing a grounding system, there are important rules that must be followed to ensure that the system is efficient and safe. Extracted from Gregory Hayward's grounding system tips, the following procedures must be considered vital.

Bonding.

All ground points must be bonded together.

Physical Connections.

Use the recommended features of grounding components such as size and connection of ground wires.

Integrity Check of Grounding System.

It is important to check...

...

Hayward indicates that the ground should ideally have a total resistance of.25 ohms and below.
Surge Protection

All electric services and points where electricity is distributed must have surge protector devices.

Grounding systems do not actually eliminate the risks of electric hazards because electricity will always be dangerous. Rather, by implementing a quality grounding system, such risks can be reduced.

Adoption of this practice will ensure that accidental energization of power lines from back feed electrical energy from generator. Hence this will help in safeguarding utility line workers from possible electrocution. The generators need to be turn off and allow them to cool prior to refuelling.

Catholic church and public policy have remarked that the members of American clergy in general, without even excepting those who do not admit religious liberty, are all in favour of civil freedom; but they do not support any particular political system. They keep aloof from parties, and from public affairs. In the United States religion exercises but little influence upon laws, and upon the details of public opinion; but it

Nurses and Pain Management Pain management has always been a critical goal of health care workers. Strategies for improved pain management guidelines have been in place since the early 1990s, with the aim of allowing clinicians to improve pain management. However, research shows that patients in all age groups continue to experience needless pain, despite the guidelines and treatment availabilities. This paper examines the pain management strategies that could be employed by
