protected.
Note: Always have one common ground per system to eliminate the possibility of a differential in
ground potentials.
Ground Resistance Rule: Max ground resistance is 25 Ohms, 5 Ohms or less is optimum.
This cannot be an assumed value and must be measured to assure proper grounding.
: Measure all voltages to insure applied voltage does not exceed the voltage rating of the
